Tanned Cow Leather Hides
Our Crazy Horse leather is a vegetable-tanned cow leather with an oil finish. Vegetable tanning is the process where leather is tanned with natural materials such as tree bark and other natural agents, giving the finished leather a natural color. Oil tanning involves the application of oil during the tanning process, which increases the hide's elasticity and makes the finished product more resistant to scratching and fading. It also leaves the leather with a smooth, slightly "oily" finish, creating a polished, attractive effect on accessories and handbags.
This popular tanned cow leather is typically used in making belts, shoes, and saddles, but its versatility allows it to be used in crafting small leather goods such as keychains and bracelets. Crazy Horse leather is most commonly used in footwear due to its oil finish.
