Pure veg-tanned leather

Innovative by nature, Devoucoux is about to launch a leather made with natural, biodegradable vegetable tannins.

Three years’ research and development, and an investment of 2 million euros were needed to do away once and for all with the presence of chrome in leather while giving it unrivalled durability.

 

Leather that lasts twice as long

A technological breakthrough, abandoning the use of chrome.
The use of vegetal tannins (quebrache, mimosa and chestnut).

 

Esthetic and technical advantages

Unequalled resistance of the leather in extreme, full-on conditions.
Embellishment of the leather as it develops a patina over time.
Twice as resistant to UV rays as chrome-tanned leather.

An innovative formula providing flexibility and maneuverability.
A new, more natural appeal.
Leather-working and assemblage at the service of the rider’s comfort.
Non-allergenic: total harmless for the horse and rider.

Veg-tanned leathers are usually firm and hard leathers, used in particular for the flaps. Chrome-tanned leathers are soft and elastic leathers used for the seat and the seat pads. Chrome is a heavy metal which is contested, especially due its harmful environmental impact and can cause contact allergies.
