Vegetable tanning is an artisanal process for leather tanning which occurs by using vegetable extracts acquired from leaves, wood and barks.
It is an environmentally friendly process performed by skilled artisans able to work on leather.
Currently, it is a process which in CUFILSA we combine with state of the art technology in order to transform our small leathers in a long lasting product.
