Vegetable tanned leather pieces in nero black by Badalassi Carlo tannery, available in A3, A4 or A5 rectangles. This is high quality Italian vegetable tanned leather, in smooth Minerva style with a matte finish and medium handle, at a thickness of between 1.8 to 2 mm. These are sold individually and in packs of 2 or 3.

Pieces are available in A3 (11.7 by 16.5 inches), A4 (8.3 by 11.7 inches) or A5 (5.8 by 8.3 inches). We cut generously and our pieces are usually over some!

Leather pieces are also available in tan or mixed colours and in thicker/heavier weight leather pieces - please see our veg tan leather collection.

To produce this vegetable tanned leather, each hide is treated with extracts of trunk and bark inside wood barrels, greased with a mixture of animal fats and then coloured in a drum. Rubbing the skins with a dry cloth will burnish it brighter as well as darkening the colour. Minerva can be treated with natural creams and waxes. This leather is suitable for bags, belts and other leather goods.

Badalassi Carlo Tannery, based in Ponte a Egola, Italy, sources its hides exclusively from European farms that comply with strict EU animal welfare legislation. Key details regarding their hide sourcing:

Type of Hide: They primarily use raw hides from cows that are over 2 years old.

Byproduct Usage: The hides are sourced as a byproduct of the food industry.

Quality: They specifically select high-quality European hides to create their renowned full-grain, vegetable-tanned shoulder leathers.

Sustainability: As a member of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetale (Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium), the tannery adheres to ethical, eco-friendly, and sustainable sourcing and production standards.
