Dyeing Leather with Plants - an Experiment

Vegetable-tanned leather is characterized by a light, brownish color that varies depending on the tanning mixture used. The different plant extracts give the leather different properties, including different shades of color. Over time, the leather darkens and develops a beautiful patina that tells the story of the product.

In addition to undyed leather, we also sell dyed leather. Only REACH-certified water-based dyes are used for dyeing. Vegetable dyes are not yet widely used in the leather industry for various reasons. However, we are currently testing bluewood extract, which comes from a reforestation project in Mexico. Dyeing with bluewood produces beautiful purple shades. We are very excited about the results and will of course be happy to share them with you!
