ChromeFree leather is soft and lightweight. Coming from farms located in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), it is subjected to an innovative tanning process in which no chromium, heavy metals or dangerous acids are involved. By simplifying the tanning process, the use of chemicals and energy is limited, water use is reduced by approximately 40% and salt use by 80%. After tanning, the water is recyclable.
