ChromeFree leather, bovine leather tanned without chrome, is soft and light. Coming from farms located in the south of Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul), it undergoes an innovative tanning process during which no chrome, heavy metals, or dangerous acids are used. Simplifying the tanning steps limits the use of chemicals and energy, while reducing water consumption by approximately 40% and salt use by 80%. After tanning, the water is recyclable.
