This project is a long research into colors and aging of leathers that are vegetable tanned. How to create different colors with vegetable tanning, how to tweak them in a natural way to change colour.
Everyone knows that vegetable tanned leathers age really well. That process takes years the more it’s used the darker it becomes. But how could we speed up this process or use this process to create even more colours in a natural way. Seeing the aging process as something beautiful instead of only looking at the negative parts of de-colouring or darkening.
