What’s the difference between tree cream leather and vegetable tanning leather?

Vegetable tanning is the name of a process
for treating raw leather. The unprocessed skin taken from an animal is called
raw skin or raw skin. The unprocessed skin will rot. The raw leather after
technological treatment is called leather. The first layer of skin tanned with
vegetable tanning agent extracted from plants is called vegetable tanning skin,
also commonly known as tree cream skin.

This kind of leather is characterized by
being original, taking materials from nature. From the perspective of health,
it is relatively green and environment-friendly and does not contain substances
harmful to human body. Therefore, it can be used to make leather products such
as clothing in direct contact with human body (vegetable tanned leather
products are generally recommended for those with sensitive skin or skin
diseases).

Vegetable tanned leather has a single
color, which is basically the natural color of animals, or slightly different
in depth. The coating can hardly be seen, so the pores are clearly displayed on
the surface, which is easier to absorb water. Vegetable tanned leather
generally has high hardness, so it has high plasticity and is easy to shape. It
is very suitable for carving and leather molding.

Leather products made from vegetable tanned
leather have another magical feature. When people use vegetable tanned leather
bags for a period of time, they will find that the more they use, the better
they look and the more different they are. This is because vegetable tanned
leather absorbs the oil and sweat of the human body and will present a retro
charm. The color will be darker and the leather surface will be more shiny.
Therefore, the bag made of vegetable tanned leather is a breathing bag, which
can grow with itself and become a unique and exclusive bag.

Vegetable tanned leather

When we first need to choose leather
materials for leather production, we need to have a certain knowledge,
cognition and understanding of leather. Many different kinds of animals will
have different growth environment, ecological field, male and female and animal
age, and there will be great differences after leather production. Therefore,
generally speaking, in the cold region, the animal Department has superior
animal hair, but one thing is that the fiber of the skin will be very rough, in
which Fox and beaver are the representatives. However, animals in tropical and
temperate zones are generally soft, fine and first-class leather materials.
Even if it belongs to the same animal, the leather materials obtained in
different seasons are also different. Knowledgeable people will call it winter
skin or summer skin. Therefore, the best choice should be made according to the
purpose of operation.

When it comes to vegetable tanned cowhide,
we should mainly talk about what the first layer of cowhide is. In terms of
cowhide, cowhide can be cut into many layers. The outermost layer is called the
first layer of leather, also known as leather green. It has the best texture
and is excellent in stretching and ventilation. The second is that in terms of
the second layer of skin, the effect and function of the face and bottom are
the same, and in practice, the surface is generally polished first, and then
used after a series of treatment and dyeing.

After soaking and extracting vegetable
tannins with water resources, the obtained extract can be solid block or powder
after one-step treatment, which is called tannin extract. Therefore, the
vegetable tanned leather tanned with vegetable tanning agent is also called
tree extract leather and tannin extract leather.

For vegetable tanned cow leather, in fact,
it is mainly a kind of leather material tanned with vegetable tanning agent, so
it does not contain substances that are very harmful to human body. It is
mainly a green and environmental friendly leather material that can be in
direct contact with skin, which has no harm to human body. It can be well used
in backpacks, handbags, harness, insoles, insoles, belts, brims and other
leather products that can be in direct contact with the human body.

One of the characteristics of vegetable
tanned leather: the leather made after tanning and fatliquoring is soft, and
the leather tissue is very compact, and the formability is very good and the
extensibility is relatively small. In terms of board surface, it is very plump
and elastic, and there is no greasy feeling. In addition, the suede and grain
surface of the leather are very shiny, and it is very easy to soften in terms
of water absorption, In terms of color, it will gradually change from the
original light meat pink to light brown, and it has a very good natural plant aroma
when we smell it every day.

After 1978, the Federal Republic of Germany
began to take the lead in certification of green products. And for many
developed countries, they have followed and imitated it. In many European and
American countries and some countries in Japan, many leather goods are made of
this kind of green vegetable tanned leather.

For example, the leather materials used in
some leather bag corner guards and hand back straps of the well-known LV brand
usually darken and turn red after we use them for a period of time. The most
important material is vegetable tanned cow leather.
