Naturalist is a leather dyed using a cutting edge "wet green" technology. The raw hides are delivered to Spain from southern Germany in a chilled state (instead of being salted). This "wet green" tanning method is derived from fallen olive leaves in Italy and turned into a natural tanning agent. This process is completely mineral free and achieved a cradle to crade Gold certification for being a biodegradable leather. With this new leather, we are taking advantage of a wasted byproduct to create the most environmentally friendly leather ever imagined.
