| We select only the
best hides for our products. The hides undergo the unique CHROMIUM TANNING PROCESS, known
as "dynamic tanning process", using the latest technology .
We are the pioneers of this kind of tanning process, which started in 1990 |
|
|
The hides undergo a thorough cleansing process stripping their natural oils and other contaminates with the best chemical agents that are different from those used in traditional tanning methods. |
