Card sized wallet Material: 100% Sustainable Cowhide Leather Made: 100% made in Tuscany, Italy Sustainable Leather: The leather comes exclusively from the hides of animals reared for food consumption which would create serious disposal problems if they werent used. In the vegetable tanning process neither chromium nor other substances which are harmful to man and the environment are used. The ban of toxic agents such as azo dyes, nickel and pentachlorophenol reduces the risk of intolerances related to the daily use of bags and small leather goods which are well tolerated even by those allergic to heavy metals. Thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics, vegetable-tanned cowhide leather can be easily disposed of. Even most of the substances used in its leather-processing are reclaimed, processed and reused in other sectors. The hair removed from raw hides, for example, is reused in agriculture as a fertilizer, while the sludge from the purifiers is reused to produce bricks.
