About Alta Andina Large Leather Valet Tray/Catchall
Our products are crafted by hand, using only full grain, vegetable tanned leather.Alta Andina crafts high-quality products using natural and recycled materials. We operate within a local Andean supply chain, sourcing and manufacturing everything in the Andes of South America. Our vision is to shift consumer demand and industry standards toward responsibly sourced and manufactured products while conserving the environment, traditions, and heritage of the AndesHand Stitched: Every seam is stitched by hand. We use a thicker, higher quality and longer lasting thread.Full Grain: The highest quality, longest lasting leather on the market. The grain is the outermost protective layer of the hide, where leather gets all its strength and longevity.Vegetable Tanned Leather: Our vegetable tanned leather is made using Quebracho and Mimosa, which are natural tannins that come from trees native to South America. We never use chromium, a toxic, heavy metal used to make 90% of the world's leather. Since our leather is 100% natural, it is safer for the environment, leatherworkers, and you.Natural Aniline Dyes: Our Miel and Café colors come from natural aniline dyes, we never use paint or synthetic finishes on our leather.We don't call our leather "genuine leather" - why not?Genuine leather is one of those misleading marketing terms used to make bottom of the barrel leather sound high quality.The term genuine leather is used to differentiate bonded leather from PU leather, or polyurethane. Polyurethane contains no actual leather, it's plastic. Bonded leather is made up of leather scraps that are mixed with chemicals and plastics to produce "leather." Saying genuine leather is real leather is like claiming fast food burgers are "100% real beef."Learn more about Alta Andina's environmental and social impact in detail at our website.
