Since the beginning, man has lived in harmony with nature and its resources. Nature has satisfied all his needs. The world of animals has given meat and leather. The world of plants has fed people and, thanks to their unique properties, plants also tanned the leather of animals.

• A lot of tribal rituals consisted of dressing in animal hide, entering the second skin.
• Indians wore buffalo hide because they believed that by doing so they could gain their power, courage and strength!
• Celts made boats out of hide, the boats which could match sea waves.
• Rigid and thick leather studded with tacks was used as armour.
• According to the radiestheses, leather is a proven material that absorbs harmful radiation.
• As early as in the 10th century people considered leather as a currency, even in official international documents. According to the Pope’s documents dating back to 1136, it is leather that was used to pay tithes to the Church. Pieces of hide were so precious but also common that they became a currency. Planes of leather and flax were used for paying for other goods.
• It is hard to resist the impression that nothing has changed in trade for thousands of years. For example, when in the 2nd century BC Egyptians imposed embargo on the supply of papyrus to the kingdom of Pergamon, the Pergamonians invented pergaminus - smooth and durable leather for writing.

The noblest leather is the one that is made with use of the same agents as have been used for centuries. It is vegetable tanning. It means using tans made of vegetable origin. Such leather is a gift from plants and animals.

Raw hide may be up to 1 cm thick. The layer of grain, which we can touch when shaking hands, is the strongest part of leather. Such a thick hide may be cut into 2 or 3 parts, thus producing 2 or 3 leathers. However, only one of them has strong grain.

The layers of leather remaining after splitting leather are called a split. The leathers do not have their own grain, however, they are strong enough to make solid goods out of them.

Chamois leathers are leathers in which grain was removed and the surface polished.

Nubuck is grain leather which grain is delicately polished in order to obtain the effect of chamois, however, it is not completely devoid of grain, which gives the leather its strength.

There are also composition leathers made of ground leather wastes. Such leathers are as weak as paper.

We like to get surrounded with friendly, practical and elegant items. We like to distinguish with goods that others do not have. The objects that surround us determine us as humans. The world of objects around us is our second skin each of us wears. With no exception.

There is only one original of a Picasso painting. The same is with genuine leather - only one may be unique.

Each leather is a little piece of art created by nature. The nature sculptures each leather in a different way. Wrinkles visible on leather are like a signature of the animal which gave it to us, they are like fingerprint lines (you can compare such wrinkles with, for example, internal side of your palm). It’s a proof of absolute authenticity and uniqueness. Another proof of authenticity of leather is the animal’s way of life. Whenever a bull went over a fence, was bitten by an insect or just stood up and fought for a roan cow, a scar, a sign or a sore occurred on his skin, thus recording its history on that leather map.

Natural features cannot be forged in leather imitations. Nevertheless, when cutting hide, we try to pass round larger signs, which requires adequate slicing. As a result of that, larger elements do not fit on the leather between the signs. This affects the price of product.

Leathers used for production of leather fancy goods are approximately 2 mm thick. Such leather has to be further processed by making it adequately thick and shaped, cutting in two, making thinner, stamping, drawing, pressing, painting, forming, bewitching... But that is just the secret of our craftsmen.
