COWHIDE / SOLUM

This cowhide is tanned using vegetable tannins—a traditional method that draws on astringents extracted from the bark and leaves of plants. The firm texture and tight fibers are signature traits of cowhide.
To refine its feel, the leather is slightly thinned without compromising durability, striking a careful balance between structure and flexibility.
While cowhide of this type tends to have a loose fiber structure and a rougher underside, it is carefully processed to achieve a smooth, refined finish.
As the leather ages, it deepens in color, developing the kind of rich patina that only time can bring.
Unlike leathers that simply absorb oils and marks on the surface, this one allows oils and pigments to penetrate deep into the hide, creating a more even, lived-in appearance.
It’s a material that invites care and attention over time—something that leather enthusiasts are sure to appreciate.
