Where Can I Find Italian Vegtan?

[DavidL]

The one below. Can this be replicated by hand? Can Horween or WC, HO do this sort of thing for a charge?

Any stores in USA that stock regular italian vegtan or British bridle as well as the leather below.

It looks like the interiors are painted different colours by the bag makers themselves.

made of the highest-quality Italian vegetable leather, with interiors painted in striking complementary shades.

Here's a closer look at the process further down at the bottom.

thanks for the link, all I know is that its one of the tanneries in a list of 20-30 tanneries from italy found on a website.

Does anyone know if this interior colouring was done during tanning or done afterwards like acrylic paint from angelus that was airbrushed. I've seen a video of someone explaining aniline leather. He says the tanning turns the back of the leather a certain colour then they add aniline dye only on the front so they have contrasting colours, or something similar to that effect.

You may be able to find something at Waterhouse.

Funny, I thought that first image was something similar to what I've seen. My girlfriend just got one of those Mansur Gavriel bags...
