NYSTRÖM STOCKHOLM has carefully chosen and is certified to use this certain vegetable-tanned leather from Tuscany, Italy. The whole process is taking inspiration from nature and – in full harmony – to nature going back. It does not contain any toxic substance harmful to man and is highly tolerable for those who suffer from metal related allergies.
 

Vegetable-tanned leather productive cycle is strictly monitored to ensure a low impact on the environment: No animal is killed for its skin. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption.

Being tanned with natural tannins, a vegetable-tanned leather object can be easily disposed of at the end of its life, thanks to its chemical-biological characteristics. Huge investments have been made in depuration systems and waste recycling that make them work in full respect of man and the environment. Many of the substances used during the tanning process are recovered, recycled and reused in different fields:

Hair removed from raw hides is transformed into agricultural fertilizer; Sludge produced by the depuration plants is reused in the construction field to make bricks.

Vegetable-tanned leather, recognizable from its trademark, does not contain any toxic substance such as azo-dyes, nickel, PCP or chrome VI.
 

Choosing a product made of Tuscan Vegetable-Tanned Leather means choosing a one-of-a-kind object that reflects the owner’s lifestyle.
