Tanning is the process of treating cow hides and other animal skins to produce leather, which is more durable and less susceptible to decomposition. Traditionally, tanning used “tannin”, from which tanning draws its name. The tanning process permanently alters the protein structure of the cowhides. Tannins occur naturally in the bark and leaves of man plants, and bind to the collagen proteins in the cowhides and coat them to become less water soluble and more resistant to bacterial attack. This also causes the cow hides to become more flexible. Tanning cowhides with chrome is faster than vegetable tanning and produces a softer and very stretchable leather which is excellent for use in handbags, garments, and as upholstery material. Chromium sulfate has long been regarded as the most efficient and effective tanning agents for cow hides and leather.

Our cow hides are the product of a recycling of what is left of this industry and transform it into a usable and decorative item. Hide tanning which is one of the oldest process industries from ancient times, when man naturally used cowhides and other skins for warmth and clothing after having used the animal’s flesh for nutrition and survival purposes.
