Products for leather and vegetable tanned leather

Vegetable tanned leather is a philosophy of leather crafting. These exceptional items have no equals in texture, feel, colours, appearance, use, and even fragrance. At the core of vegetable-tanned leathers, there are natural tannings and raw materials sourced directly from plants, nothing more natural than that!

Regardless of the type of tannin, the starting point is always plant-based: wood, cortex, fruits, rind, lump, or leaf depending on the characteristic of the species. The tanning agents are extracted through simple methods, such as hot water extraction or grinding.

In addition, Figli di Guido Lapi offers its customers a comprehensive range of technical products to help them fabricate premium vegetable-tanned leather goods. The ‘SOLE-’ product range represents the sum of over seventy years of presence in this market: experience, passion, evolution.
