Tony Perotti’s lifelong respect for the environment has led him to seek out more ecologically-correct tanning methods that are non-toxic to both humans and the environment. The Green Collection’s purses, briefcases, luggage, wallets, and accessories are made using Italian cowhide leather. Full Grain Leather Our Green Leather Collection features quality Italian adult cowhide full-grain leather. The cool Italian weather prevents skin irritation to the animals which attribute to the top quality and purity of the leather, devoid of any scratches or bites. We are committed to continuing our tradition of contributing to the preservation of our environment by using age-old craftsmanship and modern environment wisdom. Naturally Tanned In the tanning process, the untreated leather is rotated in large wooden drums, where it is softened and enriched with natural treatments from plant extracts and olive oils. Like fingerprints, no grains have repeatable characteristics, meaning each Tony Perotti piece is unique and special. Our method of vegetable tanning by hand brings the natural markings to the surface, revealing the traces of life with the leather’s veins, wrinkles, and scratches. Soft & Rich The combination of high grain leather and hand-tanning make our leather products original, unique, and timeless art pieces. The cowhide leather is soft to the touch with a matted grain finish that enhances over time and grows a distinct patina as it matures while maintaining its natural look. It’s a durable and supple leather with a natural look and feel.
