Vegetable-tanned leather is tanned with natural vegetable tannins to alter the protein structure of the hide, causing it to become leather. This type of leather typically takes a longer amount of time to create. Without any dye or oil, vegetable-tanned leather has a light tan color. It is considered higher quality in comparison to chrome-tanned leather. Approximately 10% of all leather is vegetable-tanned.
Chrome-tanned leather uses chemicals to tan and is a faster, less costly process. Chrome-tanned leather comes in a large variety of colors and is often less stiff than untreated vegetable-tanned leather. Approximately 90% of all leather is chrome-tanned. Do not laser cut chrome-tanned leather.
Veg tan leather is typically thicker and more durable, while chrome tanned leather is thin and less durable.
