Elmovegeta is vegetabily tanned leather to which no pigmentation has been added. It is a "naked" leather with a smooth structure. The production process allows all natural features to show. Vegeta is extremely soft and has a very high comfort. Like all leathers without treatment, it is delicate and grease, fat and exposure to light will darken it.
For decades, we’ve led the tanning industry toward a circular economy and zero waste. Our biological Water Treatment Plant and Zero Waste Leather concept are game-changers, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to making a difference.
With nearly a century of expertise, we ensure the utmost craftsmanship and quality. Each piece of Elmo leather undergoes meticulous inspection by our skilled artisans and complies with global standards.
Elmovegeta is an aniline leather. When you think of the softest, smoothest, and most exclusive leather, that’s aniline, our most natural product. It’s only given a gentle surface treatment to withstand dirt. All in all, aniline is bare, with its natural beauty retained and exposed. Signs of life, such as creases, fat lines, grain differences, insect bites and small healed wounds, guarantee the finest quality and authenticity.
Grain leather from Scandinavian cattle. All Elmo leather is dyed through and tested at Elmo’s laboratory. A hide is selected at random from every batch of finished leather and checked in accordance with the following:
