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 😅
Dear Hamza, yes our associated tanneries export.

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.
Dear Andre, the raw hides used by our associated tanneries derive from the slaughter of cattle destined, from the outset, to the food sector and they come from European farms which comply with EU legislation on animal welfare.

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.
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
@@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.
@@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. Actually only a minor part of the hides of bovines and suines killed for food are transformed in leather products because the price of the raw product is quite low. Are all the processes from the raw hide to the finished product that make the price of leather products to go up.
Hello, the raw hides used by our associated tanneries derive from the slaughter of cattle destined, from the outset, to the food sector and they come from European farms which comply with EU legislation on animal welfare.

Hi Brigid, no animal is killed for its skin. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption.
Cow hides are now considered byproducts of meat production but at one time when they were worth more, were a part of the value of a cow. personally I would rather have something made of natural products than plastics
Hi Mariana, as we said so many times we don't kill animal for its skin but, on the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption.
Leather is a by product of the meat industry. It's not a primary consumer product. Secondly what happens when animal die in farm houses. Do u see how it can lead to an mass epidemic. And so much for nature where on earth were you when Europe and America when you killed millions in Iraq,Vietnam, Japan, Vietnam, Syria,Africa, Indian subcontinent, and so on.
Where are most hides sourced from for members of your association? I assume europe? I have always been told most hides in the United States go to China and with current trade dispute hides here are literally worth nothing
Wonderful video. Beautiful way to treat the hides to end up with gorgeous leather. Thank you to the Italian vegetable tanned leather consortium.

What vegetable tanning? what chemical used for de-hairing?
Hi cncmoh, we're a promotional office and we're not tanning technician. But we know that for de-hairing tanneries use lime and sodium sulphide.
mimousa chateigner kibracho ....
A decade ago calcium chloride and sodium sulphide was used. Now we have unhairing agents which are milder then sulphide.
You didn't need to show a leather product every fucking 8 seconds

and besides, who wants to pay money for that fake ass leather shit. if you dont like that its an animal hide, then simply dont buy Real leather.
Each one of those skins represents the life of a cow. I feel a bit sick.
Brigid Garroni The hides are a by-product of the beef industry. The cows are not killed for their skins.

Very educative
Thank you so much. If you want you can share it!🤗
how long time the process takes? from raw material to finished leather? only several days? is not vegetable tanning takes several weeks?
Hi alesh, it's necessary several weeks for the finished leather...
ok, Thanks for your response!
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.
