Horserump TPR Vegetable Tanned Leather comes from the Maryam Tannery in Tuscany, Italy. The Maryam tannery, heir to centuries-old experience and knowledge, still performs with care and passion the slow process that takes raw hides to become leather, in total respect of nature. A process based on the use of natural tannins from the trees, new technologies and the slow passage of time.
The horserump is cut from horse butts that don't have the size and other attributes to be selected for shell cordovan. This veg tan horserump leather is the top grade, it is full grain with incredible denseness and a rich feel. Often many of these hides you will see small areas of actual shell cordovan within the hide you can you can use. It has a nice firmness with some slight suppleness. Horse butts are an extremely dense fibrous area of leather that lends itself well to durable applications like boots, shoes, wallets and other small leather goods.
These horse butts have an aniline finish showing off its natural grain and beauty meaning it will patina. One of the unique aspects of this leather is the honey comb pattern of wrinkles you see in the hides. It is a signature of some of this horse butt and give a special look to products made with it. And lastly, this leather has a TPR finish, which is a resin finish to gives the hide a stunning shell cordovan-esque finish. This leather is about as close as you get to shell cordovan at roughly 1/3rd the cost. We are confident this will become one of your favorites

70%+ This leather is best suited for those who appreciate the natural character and variation that comes with a genuine hide. As a natural material, leather may include wrinkles, veins, scars, bites, loose grain, and other markings that make each hide unique. Because this is full aniline leather with minimal surface finishing, those natural characteristics remain visible and authentic. Some areas of the hide may be better suited for small to medium goods, and ordering a full hide is recommended if you need larger uninterrupted panels. Darker colors can help minimize visible variation, and thoughtful cutting allows you to work around or incorporate these natural features into your projects. |
