Most of our leather handles have swedish vegetable-tanned leather sourced from Tärnsjö Garveri. The leather is completely free from chrome, and the vegetable-tanned leather is crafted from the finest hides.

For thousands of years, humans have tanned leather using tannic acid from vegetable sources like oak and mimosa bark. Tärnsjö Tannery still uses these environmentally sustainable methods today to ensure that their leather has a natural surface that ages beautifully with a patina that develops over time.

We also offer a guide where we delve into more details about Tärnsjö Garveri and their leather, along with providing care instructions for leather handles and knobs. The guide is titled "Care Instructions for Leather Handles & Knobs" and is available in our Guides & Inspiration.
