The Art of producing
this week I have been discovering a great deal about the tanning process, as well as diversity within the leather industry. I was fascinated to discover exactly how different sections of hide are utilized for different purposes, in addition to different techniques for tanning as well as their impact on the function of the product they are utilized to make.
Some tanneries utilize veggie tan, an environmentally sensitive choice for tanning hides, this process can be utilized on any type of leather to create a range of aesthetic results. a few of the leathers with a waxier surface can ended up being essentially impossible to scratch, as the oils work their method back to the surface as well as smooth out any type of marks from abrasion. A process I had been conscious of before, however hadn’t genuinely appreciated is milling.
Milling is a process where they tumble specific parts of the hide, providing them a variety of suppleness. a few of leathers seemed to be milled soft sufficient to utilize as a blanket, while unmilled hides would be rigid sufficient to make a equine saddle from. However, the hides we are a lot of thinking about at Brynn Capella are milled just sufficient to have structure to utilize as a handbag, while still staying soft to the touch.
This week I had the chance to go to a regional tannery with Brynn called Horween leather Co. Being the very first tannery I had been to, it was incredible to see all of these special leathers being produced. tanning a hide appropriately is genuinely an art form. I have a new appreciation for leather products as well as purses as each element utilized to create a bag takes so much time, training, as well as skill.
