Description
A cognac vegetable tanned double shoulder with pull-up, made through traditional Tuscan tanning methods at Virgilio tannery in Italy. Dyed in a drum and greased with real tallow, giving it a vintage look that will age well into a gorgeous patina. Ideal for various leather goods such as footwear, belts (with lining), wallets, bags and more.
Note that smoked veg tan leather comes with tallow visible on the surface as a thin layer of white. We suggest buffing the tallow in with a light brush or sponge, giving it a vibrant, luxurious look that simply can not be duplicated by other leathers.

- Veg tan leather with pull-up
- Infused with tallow (remember to buff it in for the final look)

I’m very disappointed with the actual appearance of the hide I purchased. I was anticipating it to look like the photo, ( dark burnt look) that’s why I purchased it, that’s not what showed up. Here’s the first thing I made from it.

Hey Donald, I’m sorry the leather did meet your expectations. We are always happy to accept returns, and even pay for shipping in some instances. With that being said, I think your bags turned out really nice actually!
