When choosing our materials, quality, sustainability and transparency are paramount. This is why we only use vegetable tanned leather from Italy and pure merino wool felt from Germany. The vegetable tanning process is very time-consuming and environmentally friendly in comparison to conventional industrial processes, which mostly use harmful substances such as heavy metals. Leather made in this way maintains its natural liveliness and small scars and color differences are therefore quality features and no reason for complaint. Due to the natural origin of the tannins, a leather gains more character over time and usually becomes darker. With the appropriate care with leather fat tis leather can serve for a very long time.

All of the tanneries selected by Urstil meet the highest technical and environmental standards.
