our materials

The foundation of exceptional handcrafted leather goods lies in the quality of the materials we select. We’re committed to using premium materials that not only enhance the beauty and durability of our creations but also reflect our dedication to sustainable practices. We believe that investing in quality materials is an investment in creating products that will be cherished for generations to come.

Our primary material is highest quality grade vegetable-tanned leather, from Tuscany, Italy.

This traditional tanning method, using natural tannins derived from tree bark, leaves, and other plant matter, results in a leather that is not only beautiful but also environmentally conscious. Here’s why we favour vegetable-tanned leather:

  • Durability and Longevity: Vegetable-tanned leather is known for its strength and resilience. It develops a rich patina over time, becoming more beautiful and characterful with age.
 
  • Natural Beauty: The natural tannins impart warm, earthy tones to the leather, creating a unique and visually appealing aesthetic. The leather’s natural grain and markings are preserved, adding to its individual character.
 
  • Patina Development: One of the most beloved qualities of vegetable-tanned leather is its ability to develop a unique patina over time.

While leather is the star of our creations, we also utilise other high-quality materials to complement our leather goods:

  • Hardware: We select durable and aesthetically pleasing hardware, prioritising solid brass and bronze, time-honoured metals that complement the quality of our leather. 
 
  • Thread: We don’t often use stitching in our designs, but when we do, we use high-quality, durable thread, mostly waxed nylon thread, chosen for its strength, abrasion resistance, and bold looks.
 
  • Bee’s wax and Finished edges: We meticulously finish the edges of our leather goods using techniques like burnishing, and waxing. These processes not only enhance the appearance of the edges but also protect them from wear and tear. We use high-quality edge dyes and waxes specifically designed for leather.

our non-negotiable values

Creating long-lasting, thoughtfully designed leather goods that embody timeless aesthetics, sustainable practices, and accessible quality, LAMA is driven by a commitment to radical transparency, ethical production, and fair pricing, prioritising quality and artistic integrity over fleeting trends and mass production.
