Tanning
Definition
Tanning is a fundamental process in leatherworking, crucial for those like me who value strap quality. There are various tanning methods, including vegetable and chrome tanning, each with its own characteristics. Vegetable tanning, for instance, uses natural tannins, giving the leather a unique patina over time. This process not only preserves the leather but enhances its natural features, making it ideal for straps that need to last. The choice of tanning type directly affects the strap's softness, durability, and color, key aspects for any collector. For Milano Straps, tanning is an art that translates into quality and longevity.
