La Bretagna Leather, Camouflage, Small Print Camo, Double Shoulder, Desert

Conceria La Bretagna, Camouflage, Vachetta Leather, Double Shoulder

Camouflage leather from La Bretagna is a full-grain, vegetable tanned leather from Italy finished with 100 percent aniline dyes to produce a camo pattern leather. The base leather is La Bretagna’s ‘Pecos’ tannage. This classic veg tan variety is naturally crafted in the traditional Tuscan vachetta style and yields a rich, natural canvas for the camouflage finish. The vibrant camo look is achieved through a three-tone effect. The leather is initially drum dyed and struck through with aniline dye for the base color, followed by two additional layers of separate aniline colors that are rolled on in a camo pattern. Each pattern color comes in a small print and large print version, allowing the grain pattern to adapt and blend in well for smaller goods like wallets and everyday carry items or larger goods like bags and accessories, depending on your needs.

The Tannery: La Bretagna - Tuscany, Italy (est. 1961)

• La Bretagna was established in 1961 and is still run by the same Testi family in Tuscany, Italy.
• Not only are the articles produced at La Bretagna some of the best in the world, what also sets La Bretagna apart is its willingness to research, develop, and invest in new technologies and methods. This is a big reason why we were initially drawn to this tannery.
• With the intention to source the best quality raw materials, La Bretagna sources nearly all of its hides from a region in France called "La Bretagne", thus the name and logo. 
• Being a 100% vegetable tannery, the tanneries ethos revolves around sustainability with a focus on the earth and the environment. You can read about any of the tannery leathers and you will learn how the earth holds inspiration behind each.
• Vachetta leather is a special type of vegetable tanned leather that uses animal fats (tallow) and oils, as well as other natural vegetable oils. Vachetta leathers tend to be softer than other veg tan leathers such as bridle and harness.
• 100% Aniline finish: The use of transparent aniline dyes allows the unique full grain texture of the hide to be visible.
• Great yields. You will find that nearly the entire full grain double shoulder is usable.
• These leathers are commonly used for higher end leather goods such as wallets, belts, shoes, furniture, handbags, purses, briefcases, key fobs, and other small accessories.
