Niagara saddle leather is a full grain vegetable tanned leather with a pure aniline finish. Its 30% fat-bath nourishment in the middle gives it an advanced resistance in outdoor use and an excellent patina.

Presentation of Verbua
It is in Bratislava in Slovakia that Mr Bastien Boisanfray and his wife Veronika have set up their leather goods workshop: Verbua. Although Veronika and Bastien Boisanfray decided to live in Slovakia, they still brought with them a "piece" of France in the form of a leather goods workshop which originally belonged to Bastien's father, Mr Thierry Boisanfray who was a saddler in one of the best workshops in France.
Today, the Verbua studio in Bratislava literally breathes through leather. Manual work, with traditional methods and quality materials meet there. Their products are recognizable by their simplicity and purity of design, timeless and elaborate products that will please even the most demanding customers.
Testimony of Verbua
" Niagara is an ideal leather for making traditional saddlery and leather goods. Vegetable tanning and deep nourishment combine strength, weather resistance and softness. It is for these qualities that we have already made in Niagara shoulders hand-sewn saddlebags in the style of old-fashioned postman and telecom worker saddlebags, and we are confident that with this leather they will be just as durable as it was. The half-back is perfect for straps and belts. For us, the use of Niagara is part of an aspiration to simplicity: we enjoy working it by hand (cutting, sewing, finishing) and combining it with other traditional materials such as waxed linen thread, solid brass and beeswax, to make objects that become more beautiful over time.
