The quality of our half-back straps with vegetable tanning and aniline finishes Niagara for your leather goods.
Features of Niagara dyed half back straps :
Niagara saddle leather is 100% natural leather. Niagara half-back dyed strap leather is an unpressed, uncorrected full-grain leather with smooth grain and flesh. It is vegetable-tanned, and therefore non-allergenic. Vegetable tannins provide firmness and high resistance to elongation. This leather has an aniline finish that preserves its natural appearance. The Niagara dyed half-back strap is available in Black, Chocolate, Havana and Cognac aniline finishes. It is heart-fed in a tallow bath (a mixture of paraffin and beef fat), more commonly known as " tallow leather". This food makes for easier cutting and working, as well as greater resistance to water. Tallow also ensures maintenance-free leather, as the fat is constantly added to the surface of the leather, giving it the nourishment it needs and an excellent patina. Thanks to this nourishment, Niagara saddle leather is highly resistant to outdoor use, rejecting any external disturbance (water / salty environment). This saddle leather is therefore suitable for intensive wear.
Origin of Niagara dyed half back straps :
half-back straps Niagara dyed are sourced fromselected beef and bullfarms in France, Germany, Spain and Italy. To ensure the quality of the leather used in production, a leather traceability process has been set up at Radermecker Tannery. The hides are marked 3 times with 3 identifiers at each stage: on receipt of the hides, enabling traceability of the origin of the hides; during the tanning process; during the finishing process.

Care instructions of Niagara dyed half back straps :
For the care of saddle leather Niagara, thanks to the tallow bath feed, the fat is impregnated throughout the thickness of the saddle leather Niagara, so there is no need to feed over time. Food can be applied to the grain to ensure its greasy appearance or to accelerate the patina of the leather. This care of the grain will ensure a longer life. Our saddle leather Niagara will resist humidity. Just let it dry at room temperature and it will look great again. Because it is fed in a tallow bath (grease), a whitish film of paraffin build-up can form on temperature shocks. Simply rub it off.
