Why vegetable tanned leather?

We use vegetable tanned leather for Cooper & Quint collars and leashes.

The most important reasons in a row:

• Longer lifespan

Vegetable tanned leather uses tanning acids from various plants, such as branches, leaves, bark or fruits. The tanning process takes about one to three months. Due to the gentler process, the lifespan of vegetable tanned leather is on average longer than chrome tanned leather.

• Better for the environment and biodegradable

Tanning on the basis of chrome is also called chemical cow leather (80-90% of cow leather is chrome tanned). The hides are preserved by the action of synthetic preservatives such as chrome sulphate, aluminium and sodium hydroxide. These substances are toxic and carcinogenic and as a result the leather is no longer biodegradable and as good as dead. Vegetable tanned leather, recognisable by its trademark, does not contain toxic substances such as azo dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI. The leather can easily be thrown away at the end of its life.

• More intense colours

Another big difference between vegetable tanned leather and chrome tanned leather is the life that you can still find in the end product. Vegetable tanned leather absorbs the traces of our life. The natural aging does not detract from the resistance. The colors of tannins give the leather an unmistakable warm and brilliant shade that becomes more intense with the passing of time and daily use.

Every product made from Cooper & Quint leather comes with a certificate of guarantee that the tannery where the leather was purchased adheres to all standards for vegetable tanned leather.
