Leather tanned in Tuscany. Both ends of the chain are old families.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e## Description\nMost leather sold today is chrome-tanned — a process that takes a day, uses heavy chemicals, and produces a soft hide that splits and creases out within five years. Vegetable-tanning is different. The hide sits in a series of pits with oak bark and water for thirty days or more. The leather that comes out is denser, holds its shape, and develops a real patina rather than wearing through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTuscan tanneries have been doing this since the Renaissance. Ubrique, in Andalusia, is one of the two European cities where leather goods are still cut and saddle-stitched at scale; the other is Florence. Tanner Leatherstein commissions Malcolm there: hide from a Tuscan veg-tanner, cut and stitched by Spanish artisans, sent to a US shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bifold wallet in rum and dark brown. Saddle-stitched, edge-burnished, no skiving glue. It will be in better shape twenty years from now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery purchase funds one sauna session for one cancer patient. The wallet holds money. The transaction holds warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e## Tags\nleather, wallet, tuscany, ubrique, glowhood\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Second-pass refinement following Ogilvy's first-pass template.*\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tanner Leatherstein (formerly PEGAI), Spanish artisans Ubrique with Tuscan leather","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47328791462037,"sku":"glowhood-0048","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/3038\/0949\/files\/MALOENROMOENDBR-TNF.jpg?v=1777950215","url":"https:\/\/www.glowhood.xyz\/products\/tanner-leatherstein-malcolm-italian-veg-tan-wallet","provider":"Artisan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
