| HIDESIGN real
leather crafted the forgotten way
HIDESIGN
follow
traditional methods of manufacture and tanning, that reflect a care for
the craftsman, craftsmanship and the environment using processes which
have long since disappeared from the modern leather industry. The leather
is full grain cowhide, vegetable tanned and hand dyed.
The
art of tanning HIDESIGN leather is by the time honoured traditional method
of soaking the hides for forty days in extracts of bark and seeds collected
from the forests of Africa and India. Only after these vegetable extracts
have been fully absorbed as vegetable oils, applied to make the hide supple.
Only
solid brass buckles are used, each individually sand cast and hand polished,
reflecting old saddlery traditions.
Traditional
methods to produce products which are rich in character, texture and individuality. |
