『Conceria la Bretagna』：「Antique」series

The culture of vegetable-tanned leather
The tanner said. We are a Tuscan family-run tannery specializing in high quality natural leather since 1961. Our father, Giovanni Testi, is the founder of Concieria La Bretagna and has for many years passed on to us the culture, love, passion and experience of vegetable tanning, the oldest tanning method in the world. It can be said to be his great achievement. During production, we only use plant extracts derived from renewable materials. Materials such as nuts, bark, leaves, and tree extracts are also used in food, wine, cosmetics, and therapeutic medicine. Vegetable-tanned leather is made over time according to the laws of art, and water and various tannins, which are the source of life, are essential ingredients.

Now, let's talk about ``nature'', which we look up to as our master. Everything in nature speaks to us, and through these teachings we have developed a deep respect for nature, and we have come to understand the meaning of the term "eco-sustainable." Based on this, our leather is metal-free, hypoallergenic, biodegradable, non-toxic, flame retardant, holds its shape even once wet, and is easy to emboss. Essentially, vegetable-tanned leather is a natural temperature regulator. It can be applied to a wide range of applications, from high-quality leather products to shoes, belts to horse saddles, interior decoration, flooring, and ship interiors.

The words ``We pursue beauty in all things, and nature is our source of inspiration'' reflect who we are. That's why we don't like mass production or globalization in general. Our products are authentically "Made in Italy". Everything is produced in our beautiful region of Tuscany.

※Vachetta manufacturing method: This is a traditional Italian natural leather manufacturing method in which leather is tanned with natural tannins extracted from plants and then soaked with oil over time.

Environmental protection and the desire to obtain leather with natural features and appearance led us to vegetable production. All our products are made in accordance with the specifications laid down by the members and founding members of the Consorzio Bella Pere Italiana Consciata Alvegitale.
