『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.


Tochigi-leather：We are a long-established tanner representing Japan, and we tan our products using all natural vegetable tanning methods. Because it is colored only with dye, you can enjoy the original expression and aging of the leather. It is also characterized by the presence of wrinkles, blood lines, and scars.

We use three types of Tochigi leather with different finishes.　"Classic", "City", "Shrink", "Vintage"　These are used separately for each series.

※Since it is colored only with dye, there may be slight color variations depending on the lot and location.

※"Classic" and "Vintage" These are made from the same type of leather, but the parts are different.


Himeji Leather：We are a tannery located in the Himeji area on the western side of Japan, and we use synthetically tanned leather made with vegetable tannins and chrome, which has been embossed.

"CP" and "Style-colors" are colored with pigments, so they have a relatively clean surface with few scratches.They are also characterized by being less prone to scratches and less likely to change over time like tanned leather.

At our store, we use different types of embossing and color variations, dividing them into the "CP" and "Style-colors" series.

※"CP" and "Style" are used only on the outside.

"Zeaba" is tanned using a method similar to tanned leather, so the wrinkles and veins that are the original look of leather remain. In addition, it has been treated with antibacterial treatment, which is rare for genuine leather.
