Old World Veg-Tan comes from a well-established Italian tannery known for producing exquisite leathers using old-world tanning methods passed down from generation to generation. These beautiful cowhides are tanned using a unique process that uses drums made from African iroko wood and a combination of extracts from the bark of quebracho, chestnut, and mimosa trees. This veg-tanned cowhide is hand-finished to bring out the natural color and unique characteristics of this fine leather. Old World Veg-Tan is an excellent choice for leather goods that require a lighter weight of cowhide as well as for tooling or molding.

Emily ★★★★★

The grain on this hide is stunning—tight, even, and with that rich, natural pull-up you only get from proper vegetable tanning. I’ve already cut a few straps from it and the flesh side is clean enough to use as-is. It’s exactly what I hoped for from an old-world tannery.

Owen ★★★★★

I was blown away by how supple this leather feels right out of the package—the old-world tanning really gives it a rich, natural character that you don't find anymore. The belly cut has a beautiful, organic texture that works perfectly for small projects like wallets and belts.
