The cowhide comes from farms in Uruguay, a country known for its livestock culture and the quality of its leather. It is tanned in Brazil, respecting REACH standards. Special attention is paid to the use of water during the tanning process.
ChromeFree bovine leather is soft and light. Coming from farms located in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), it is subjected to an innovative tanning process that does not involve chromium, heavy metals or dangerous acids. By simplifying the tanning process, the use of chemicals and energy is limited, water use is reduced by approximately 40% and salt use is reduced by 80%. After tanning, the water is recyclable.
