Tanning transforms raw hides into durable, usable leather by altering their chemistry and structure. There are multiple tanning methods from age-old vegetable tanning using plant tannins, to modern chrome, synthetic, aldehyde (wet white), and combination techniques. Each method yields different characteristics in texture, color stability, and strength. Understanding these methods helps in choosing leather suitable for fashion, upholstery, automotive, and luxury applications.
