Vercors Native
Introducing Vercors Native
It's at the foot of the Vercors massif in Die, France, that Sylvie Ducros has set up her workshop: Vercors Native, her place of inspiration and fabrication where the scent of leather perfumes the room. Trained as a cabinetmaker, she built her wooden workshop to house her leather goods premises in 2018. The name of her workshop is a reminder of her origins and the identity of the Vercors region.
Mme Sylvie Ducros' Realizations are entirely handmade and made-to-measure, with vegetable-tanned leathers. Each creation is the fruit of an assembly of authentic materials with a story behind it. Leather pieces can be customized according to the customer's needs.
testimony by Vercors Native
"Personally, I dye Niagara leather only rarely, and I apply a nourishing Trimadel cream that enhances its distinctive veining. I work it very simply, relying on its exceptional characteristics. I rarely marry it, except occasionally with merino wool felt, or a beautiful solid brass buckle. What better way to talk about this leather than to hear what my customers have to say about it, which they say is 'magnificent and has a wonderful patina'."

Gàidheal's testimony
"It's not as easy as it used to be to find quality leathers in Belgium, as many tanneries have closed, making the process more complicated. So discovering Radermecker Tannery was a nice surprise! I was delighted by the welcome I received. I felt very welcome, and Mr Honoré took the time to show me the facilities and the vegetable tanning technique. I was greeted in a very professional and friendly manner. The impeccable service matches the quality of the leather! Indeed, Radermecker Tannery offers us a service of exemplary quality: an eco-responsible approach to animals and an environmentally-friendly tanning process for a quality finished product."
"I work mainly with Niagara leather for my designs, which I want to be simple and timeless. This leather gives me a very structured/geometric look. The hides are pleasant to the touch, flawless (often related to the barbed wire of traditional prairies) but also very pleasant to work with. Despite their density, which makes them durable, they are easy to work with. As a certified craftswoman, it's important for me to work with and surround myself with partners who share the same values. And that's exactly what I've done with Radermecker Tannery and its responsible, reasoned approach! I'd like to thank the whole team for their hard work. "

testimony of Fabienne Créations Cuir
"I've been using Niagara leather for a few years now, mainly for my Realizations equestrian gear. I also work with other tanneries for the same projects, but Niagara leather is just a treat to work with. My awl pierces it like butter and my cutter cuts it so easily, without forcing... Just a pleasure for hands and tools. The skins are supple and solid at the same time, with a very good hold, retaining their lively, natural appearance. My customers are delighted with their creations, be they side pulls, reins or hunting collars, and how they hold up over time. This leather has a wonderful patina and retains its natural veining."
