Rustico natural

Naturally Unique

We're excited to announce our newest leather color: Natural. This full grain leather coincides with one of our mantras here at Rustico, which is "leave your mark." Natural leather starts out as a sort of blank slate in which a unique patina develops based on your individual use. Not all items are offered in this color so click to see the collection.

 

NATURAL, AGE-OLD PROCESS

Vegetable-tanned leather is created using natural tannins and plant-based extracts, such as tree bark, roots, wood, and fruit. This is an ancient technique (this is how Vikings tanned their leather!).

Vegetable-tanning is environmentally-friendly and more time-consuming than other, modern tanning methods. In fact, only 10% of the world’s leather is produced by means of vegetable-tanning. The result is a light-colored, unadulterated hide.

This is where you come in.

GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME

From high-end fashion to the rugged cowboy life, natural leather appeals to all. For each unique story, this leather provides the blank slate to begin.

Natural leather starts out in an antique white color with subtle pink tones, but this is just the beginning. Over time and with your unparalleled use, the leather will develop a rich, golden patina that's unique to you.
