Sourcing a Tannery
When it came time to start buying in bulk, we decided to look around for a tannery, preferably local, to order directly through. This not only will provide us with a direct relationship to a tannery, but it will provide us with the ability to streamline our process and create a consistent look and feel to the product line.
Some of the deciding factors when choosing the right Tannery were:
- Whether it was Local
- Consistency of the Leather
- The Quality & Durability
- Evenly dyed & Minimal defects
- Ease of ordering
- Price
Notice 'Price' was last on our list. We wanted to find a Tannery that not only produces an excellent raw material, but if it came to sacrificing on the cost, so be it.
Good, quality products aren't made from cheap material...
