1:41 This reminds me of a DW documentary about the leather district in Italy where one of the workers lost a few fingers to a machine like this. I hope the tannery in this video treats and pays its employees well. It looks like a company that takes pride in its quality though.

I am a leather craftman in S.Korea. It's very interesting to see the leather tanning process. But It would've been better to me If there was English subtitles on the video. I wanted to understand everything but It was not easy 😅

I just bought a wallet with this beautiful material. It came with a certificate of authenticity with a #. Is there anyway to look up info using the #? IE when it was processed or any other info regarding the hide. I checked website but I could of missed it.

@@pellealvegetale Thank you 🙏

[@beganovicc]

why not show the splitting, and the leather types and thicknesses it produces? its the most important part to teach

[@pellealvegetale]

From the tanners' point of view, Splitting is not relevant or decisive for the purposes of vegetable tanning. The tanning phases are Tanning, Retanning, Dyeing and Fatliquoring and the rest such as splitting are simply intermediate mechanical steps! Are you interested in something specific?

[@beganovicc]

@@pellealvegetale well people need to be educated and informed about leather splits. They go around buying "genuine leather", bonded leather and everything other than full and top grain. They know little of dying with aniline and semi aniline. Most people who own leather products have never touched the real leather surface, always the film and color layers on top. The video is great but this would make it extremely useful to consumers.

[@pellealvegetale]

@@beganovicc Thank you for your advice ​ @beganovicc . The purpose of this video is to show the whole tanning process. We welcome your helpful thoughts and agree with you completely. We will certainly take into account what you have said for future content on education of the final consumer.

how long time the process takes? from raw material to finished leather? only several days? is not vegetable tanning takes several weeks?

[@pellealvegetale]

Hi alesh, it's necessary several weeks for the finished leather...

[@alesh576]

ok, Thanks for your response!

[@ImranKhan-ey6ws]

From raw hide to tanning is 21 days. Thereafter crusting and finishing is 3-4 days time. Vegetable tanning is longer than chrome tanning.

The video shows chrome tanned leather, veg tanned can be from 4 months to 1 year.

[@charlesbronson240]

I get nervous when I hear the word genuine in the same sentence as the word leather

[@pellealvegetale]

Dear Charles, why are you getting nervous? "Genuine" means "authentic" in this case. And we use it because our products are made of real leather not vegan or plastic materials.

[@charlesbronson240]

pellevegetale because there is a type of cheap leather called genuine leather used in cheap belts and wallets, companies market it as genuine to make it seem like it’s good quality leather when in reality its not

[@pellealvegetale]

@@charlesbronson240 We think you're confusing with other material. Vegetable tanned leather is a precious leather. The transformation from raw hides into a material that will resist throughout time is a process that slowly happens into wooden drums, in full respect of man and the environment. An astonishing process based on the use of natural tannins extracted from trees, on modern technologies and machineries and on the slow passing of time.

[@prawdydawca13]

@@pellealvegetale In US, I believe, they categorize leather into 3 classes: full grain, top grain and so called genuine, which is, as above mentioned, really poor quality leather (splits I believe) :)

No bovine or suine is killed for its skin.
