TUDOR LEATHER

TO CREATE THE TUDOR LEATHER WE FIRST SOUGHT GUIDANCE FROM TANNERY AND LEATHER EXPERTS HERE IN THE UK TO ESTABLISH THE GROUND RULES THAT WOULD ENABLE US TO MAKE AN ITALIAN LEATHER THAT HAS ROOTS IN THE BRITISH LEATHER TANNING OF THE PAST.  WE TRAVELLED TO THE SANTA CROCE REGION IN ITALY WHERE THE HILLSIDES ARE STREWN WITH GLORIOUS VINEYARDS, WHERE YOU’RE ONLY A STONE’S THROW AWAY FROM THE BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE OF FLORENCE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY WHERE THE CLIMATE HELPS THE TANNING PROCESS THRIVE.

WHAT WE CAME UP WITH IS A BEAUTIFUL AND OPULENT LEATHER THAT HAS BEEN VEGETABLE TANNED IN THE MOST ETHICAL AND ECONOMICAL WAY POSSIBLE. BY MAKING SURE THAT THE LEATHER HIDES SELECTED WERE OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD IN THE BEGINNING IT MEANS WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A FINISHED LEATHER THAT IS NOT ONLY RICH IN COLOUR BUT OFFERS A CONSISTENT LOOK AND FEEL IN ALL OF OUR TUDOR LEATHER PRODUCTS. YOU’LL ALSO NOTICE THAT OUR TUDOR LEATHER HAS A DELIGHTFUL AROMA, THIS IS DOWN TO THE NATURAL INGREDIENTS USED IN THE VEGETABLE TANNING PROCESS.

WE HAVE ALSO BEEN ABLE TO CREATE A LEATHER THAT SOUNDS GOOD TOO..! JUST HOLD ONE OF OUR LEATHER PRODUCTS IN YOUR HAND AND GENTLY TWIST AND FLEX IT, YOU’LL HEAR THAT REASSURING CREAKING SOUND, THIS IS THE SOUND OF QUALITY. THE TUDOR NAME THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN FOR OUR LEATHER IS THE PERFECT BRITISH COMPLIMENT TO THE ITALIAN LEATHER AND WE’RE PRETTY SURE THAT IF HENRY VIII WERE AROUND TODAY HE WOULD HAVE A TUMBLE AND HIDE ITALIAN LEATHER COIN POUCH TO KEEP HIS SHILLINGS SAFE.
