We use vegetable dye to colour our products. In other words we stain or tan our leather. The colour goes into the leather. It gets sucked in. The colour is always there.
Vegetable dye tanning is the traditional way of preserving leather. We mix the vegetable dye into a liquid containing natural plant extracts. We apply the liquid to the leather. This is a manual process. The liquid evaporates and the colour remains behind. We are impregnating the colour into the leather. Almost like a tattoo.
This traditional method encourages microbial bacteria activity inside the leather. The leather is 'alive' with microbial activity. The microbial activity preserves the leather. It keeps the leather soft, subtle and strong.
High quality leather needs caring for. It needs looking after. Keep it moist with leather oils. With this care, leather endures for ever. Combine vegetable dye and care. Your Zeederberg Leather product will increase in value over time.
