Why vegetable-tanned leather is better – for you and the planet

Many people don't realize that there are significant differences in how leather is made. Most leather products are tanned with chemicals like chrome. This is quick and cheap, but not good for the environment. And not always kind to the skin.

At Beocca, we use vegetable-tanned leather. This is a traditional process that uses natural extracts from sources like tree bark and leaves. It takes longer, but the result is exceptional. The leather has a rich color, a natural scent, and only becomes more beautiful with age.

A bag made of vegetable-tanned leather lives with you. Every scratch and crease tells a story. The leather develops a unique patina—a kind of sheen and depth—that you can't fake. No two bags are exactly alike.

And there's something else important: it's better for the world. No harmful substances are released into the water or air. And because the leather is durable, you won't need to buy something new anytime soon.

Vegetable-tanned leather is perfect for those who make conscious choices. For quality, durability, and character.
