Vegetable tanning
We work exclusively with vegetable-tanned leather using natural tannins found in plants.
This chrome-free processing takes place very slowly in wooden drums, ensuring a low environmental impact and the absence of substances toxic to humans.
Specifically, bull hide, the most prized part of the animal, is used for belts.
hand-stitched belts
Each stitch is hand-sewn with waxed thread, without the aid of machinery.
In addition to having a unique charm, hand-stitching provides unparalleled robustness.

Our belts are hand-stitched with waxed thread, making them indestructible. Therefore, to be shortened, they would need to be unstitched and then re-stitched by hand by a cobbler/leather worker.
The grain is the surface layer of the leather, the part we see when we buy a bag, wallet, etc.
There are three types of grain:
🔸 Full grain: This is the most prized because it has not undergone any processing that alters its appearance. The grain remains natural and intact, also thanks to the non-covering finish. To work full-grain leather, it is essential that the animal has no scars or particular marks that would reduce its value. For this reason, ensuring the animal's well-being is crucial! Only about 15% of leathers meet this characteristic, which is why the cost is higher.
🔸 Top grain: Unlike full grain, the finish used is more covering, such as one with pigments. However, we are still talking about first-choice leather!
🔸 Corrected grain: In this leather, the surface layer is processed to reduce defects and marks. This category includes printed leathers or those with a very covering finish.
