This leather recovers very well, not as much as greased calf leather but, equally, a scrape can be repaired by rubbing it with a simple cotton cloth. We use this leather with a 1.2 mm thickness and the approximate weight of an apron body made with this leather is 500 grams.

This leather comes from young animals and undergoes vegetable tanning (with tannins), it is greased when wet, and finished with natural waxes and polished with a glass roller, therefore the result is a soft fine grain leather with a spectacular natural shine.

 

This leather is used to create the main body of aprons and their matching straps. The straps are created with two hand-stitched pieces of leather with waxed linen thread and saddle stitching which makes them very durable and gives them an unrivalled finish.

This is the kind of leather that gradually acquires such appealing character over time, which is what happens with good leather.

These straps are available in two models: Zahón and Classic.

This leather can be chosen in four colours: yellow, red, emerald green and chocolate.
 
Vegetable tanning is the traditional tanning method. It is called vegetable because only vegetable extracts from tannin-rich plants are used. At present, only 10% of the leather produced in Spain undergoes this type of tanning, the rest is tanned with chrome, an industrial process that is more aggressive, and which results in leather that is rectified and uniform. In addition to being the most natural and respectful towards the environment, vegetable tanning is the only type that can give the leather its unique characteristics.
