If you've accidentally neglected vegetable-tanned leather or found a forgotten treasure in a thrift shop, we explain how to rejuvenate and rescue old, dry leather and moldy, mildewed leather.

How can you tell if it's good quality is when you're looking at it in a store or from a photograph online? Can you tell what kind of leather it is, and if it's recoverable when you've found a hidden gem at a thrift store? In this post, we'll discuss observable design details so you can make informed decisions.

We use the same, high quality, vegetable-tanned leather that has always traditionally been used for equestrian sport, so it's a natural outdoor material (saddles, reins, bridles, etc). Our American vegetable-tanned leather is infused with waxes in the tannery to stand up to horse sweat, mud, and rain - in other words, just like riding a bicycle!

You can personalize many of Walnut Studiolo's products with initials or a short message - and now we've expanded our Monogramming Program to give you more options for your personal messages.
