Vegetable tanning is an ancient technique that dates back to 2000 years ago and developed in the lands of medieval Tuscany, along the Arnò river. The leather is dyed in the barrels with water containing natural dyes from plants, flowers and trees which are called tannins. For about 48 hours the barrels are in continuous rotation and shaking. This technique allows to obtain a softer and more flexible leather.
