Vegetable-Tanned Leather
Why this ethical choice? Vegetable tanning has been a cornerstone of our craftsmanship at Bleu de Chauffe since the very beginning. Your Diane gibecière by Bleu de Chauffe has been handcrafted from full-grain leather, tanned using organic substances (bark, leaves, and sap from acacia, mimosa, and chestnut trees…).
This artisanal process results in waterproof leather of exceptional quality and softness. Most importantly, it is entirely safe and non-toxic, unlike chrome-tanned leather and falsely labeled "vegetable-tanned" leathers.
And to keep it in perfect condition, all you need is a cloth, some leather milk, and you’re ready for a simple care routine you can find here. This will nourish your gibecière’s leather, reduce potential scratches, and enhance its patina—ensuring better protection over the years.
