Vegetable tanned Leather is one of the most eco and environmentally friendly ways to tan leather hide and the process takes leather artisans a while to complete. It remains one of the oldest methods and has been used for thousands of years where natural vegetable matter, tannins found in wood, roots, barks and other parts of plants are used to process the leather in a natural way. It takes time, is expensive but very natural, traditional bringing about a quality and expertly crafted leather item piece. At Ashwood, we select the leathers used for our accessories for their individual beauty, performance and feel. Each skin is unique, so any quirks are viewed as characteristic of leather’s natural appeal. Ashwood is a British Leather Design House with an overseas Award Listed Tannery and Fully Ethical and Audited factory which was achieved by hard work and stringent methods.

Main: Real Leather, Lining: Fabric. Dimensions (L) 25cm (H) 19cm (W) 6cm. Leather is a natural fibre in that it is not man-made. As it is an organic material, it needs occasional care and conditioning to keep it looking its best throughout the years. For most leather bags, applying a leather cream or wax is a good idea, as it adds a layer of protection to the bag’s finish, repelling superficial scratches and scuffs. Choose a cream containing natural waxes: they give a rich look and act as a barrier against dirt and moisture. All products made from natural leather will age with time. Just like our skin, it will need moisturising and caring, if they’re to be kept in tip-top condition throughout the years. This ageing effect is called the bags ‘Patina’, it’s a very cherished and admired effect, and the effect is almost impossible to replicate accurately without submitting it to the natural wear and tear that leather bags go through from everyday use. This natural ageing process adds character to a bag and gives it a life-story of its very own, every mark, scratch and crack tells a tale. Always do spot testing before you apply any product on the leather. If you are applying a waterproofing product, then it’s strongly recommended that you first use a care product to help lock in moisture and to keep the fibres of the skin supple before making it waterproof. Only apply the waterproof to areas that will be exposed to moisture.
