Semi Vegetable Tanned Cow Leather
Leather is a natural, renewable material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. Semi-vegetable tanned leather is tanned using natural plant tannins and then chemically finished, giving a soft finish.
We select our leathers based on their individual properties and the intended application.
Leather lasts a long time, ages well and is easy to care for and repair. Unlike many synthetic materials, leather develops patina over time and gets better with age. Buying a well-made leather product can be considered an investment and supports the slow fashion ethos of “buying less, buying better”. Leather can be recycled or upcycled, and once it reaches the end of its lifecycle it is biodegradable.
Chromium VI is not used in any tanning processes for our leathers.
B.N. Enterprises, located in Delhi, India, has been a long-term supplier of ELK, starting with a small collection in 2013. They are a family business, founded in 1991, and are now one of our main suppliers of leather goods. To facilitate better understanding and insight into our product manufacturing and responsible sourcing, we have engaged the services of a local representative who can coordinate with the B.N. team on-ground.
All leathers used by BN are sourced from Leather Working Group (LWG) gold rated tanneries. Additionally, all products meet European REACH standards for chemical safety.
BN is a member of both Sedex and BSCI, and the factory undergoes regular social compliance audits.

To maintain the beauty of your Elk bag we recommend protective sprays and using a good quality leather conditioner to treat the product, which will increase its longevity. Do not put leather pieces on the ground or rub against abrasive surfaces. Leather is a natural material and will wear with age and use.
