- Shane and Dom take you inside the largest vegetable tanned leather tannery in the world.
Vegetable tanned leather is not just a sign of quality leather but also a sign of care for the environment. The process of vegetable tanning is an ancient technique used to tan leathers without the use of harmful chemicals that can affect the waterways and the ecosystem that surrounds the tanneries.
We went to Mexico to explore the largest vegetable tanned leather tannery in the world. Making over 3,500 hides a day, this tannery displays the highest level of organization and knowledge with every part of their tanning process. While vegetable tanning isn't as well used as its modern processes, this tannery has been working on projects that could help its relevance in the industry with environmental developments that serve nature's best interest.

So what’s the name of the tannery?
ty for the tour, but it would have been nice to know the name of the tannery
That portrait of Dom is uncanny.

Interesting field trip 👍 it is so important to talk about sustainability and the impact of our industry/hobby - thanks for the video ❤
We want to be able to show people that the correct type of leather can be more sustainable and eco friendly than most alternatives. Hopefully y'all enjoyed it!
@@lonsdaleleather Do you have any b-roll footage of the workers playing in that big drum?
😂
You know what, we came too early to the tannery way before it was break time so we weren't able to
What a rad tour!! Thank you for taking us all along for a lil peek into where our materials come from 😊
Thank YOU for watching! So glad you enjoyed it. Shane is a great interviewer!
It would be cool to know the leather from your shop that comes from here, and the name of the tannery! Was it difficult to get a tour?
It really comes down to planning and being part of the leather industry. Not sure if it's open to the public
So much leather! I didn't know there were that many cattle on the planet.
isn't it incredible?! And this is only one tannery in Mexico
Amazing info and hilarious! You guys are the best!
Thanks so much! We appreciate the support!
Where is this place?
Interesting video but your title is misleading. A tannery does not MAKE hides, the animal makes them. The correct verb to use for a tannery is "process".
I beleve it is in lefarc tannery in leon guanajuato mexico. No body in the video said what company was.
This really puts this into perspective. That's a lot of dead cattle. What is the carbon footprint for that many cows per year?
Definitely! It was a lot of leather hides being processed as well as already finished and stored. Really puts into the perspective of the size of the meat industry. If this is only for vegetable tanned leather, imagine the rest. We weren't able to get any info on carbon footprint, unfortunately
Belly fat Lol!!
If only it was that easy
