Six leathers, one principle
Every PURLEDER leather begins with full-grain hides and is tanned entirely with plant tannins, never chrome. Each then takes its own character through finishing. Choose by feel, by structure, by the life you want the leather to live.
What all six share
- Full-grain
- The grain layer is left as it grew. Not sanded, not corrected.
- 100% vegetable-tanned
- Tannins from oak, chestnut and mimosa. No chrome, no heavy metals.
- German materials
- Hides and tanning knowledge from Germany, finished by hand in Vietnam.
