Vercors Native
Presentation of Vercors Native
It is at the foot of the Vercors massif in Die, France, that Mrs. Sylvie Ducros has set up her workshop: Vercors Native , her place of inspiration and production where the smell of leather perfumes the room. Trained as a cabinetmaker, she built her wooden workshop to install her leather goods premises in 2018. The name of her workshop is there to remind her origin and the identity of the Vercors.
The creations of Mrs. Sylvie Ducros are entirely handmade and made to measure, with vegetable tanned leather. Each creation is the result of an assembly of authentic materials with a story. The leather pieces can be personalised according to the client's needs.
Testimony of Vercors Native
"Personally, I only dye Niagara leather rarely, and I apply a nourishing Trimadel cream that enhances its special veining. I work it very simply, relying on its exceptional characteristics. I rarely match it, except occasionally with merino wool felt, or a beautiful solid brass buckle. What better way to talk about this leather than with the opinions of my customers, who say it is "magnificent and has a wonderful patina".

Testimony of Gàidheal
"It is not easy as before to find quality leathers in Belgium, many tanneries are closed, making the process more complicated. The discovery of Radermecker Tannery was therefore a nice surprise ! I am delighted by the welcome that was reserved for me. I felt welcome and Mr Honoré took the time to show me the facilities and the vegetable tanning process. I was greeted in a very professional and friendly manner. The impeccable service to be found. The high level of the quality of the leather ! Indeed, Radermecker Tannery offers us an exemplary quality service : an eco-responsible approach towards animals and an environment-friendly tanning process for a quality finished product."
"I mainly work with Niagara leather for my models, which I want simple and timeless. This leather offers to me a very structured / geometric rendering. The hides are pleasant to the touch, without flaws (often linked to the barbed wire of a traditional meadows) but also very pleasant to work with. Despite the density of these, which makes the product durable, they are easy to work with. As a certifed craftswoman, it is important for me to work and to surround myself with partners with the same values. This is done with Radermecker Tannery and its responsible and reasoned approach ! I therefore thank the whole team for their work !"

Testimony of Fabienne Créations Cuir
"I have been using Niagara leather for a few years now, mainly for my equestrian designs. I also work with other tanneries for the same projects but Niagara leather is just a treat to use. My awl pierces it like butter and my cutter cuts it so easily, without forcing... Just a pleasure for the hands and the tools. The skins are soft and solid at the same time, with a very good performance, keeping their lively, natural apsect. My customers are delighted with their creations, whether it is a side pull, reins, or even a hunting collar and their outfit over time. This leather has a marvelous patina and keeps its natural grain".
