The manufacturer Alpenleder exclusively works with full-grain leather. All products are made from whole hides, with leather thickness ranging from 1.2 mm to 3.5 mm. Alpenleder uses both cowhide and buffalo leather. These are known as open leathers, which do not hide their imperfections through structural embossing or color but stand by their origin. Each individual hide is inspected by a specialist to determine its suitability for bags. The leathers currently used by Alpenleder are all vegetable-tanned: unlike the usual practice of using toxic chrome salts in the tanning process, these leathers are tanned with tree bark. They also use only azo-free dyes from European production for the colored leathers. For the majority of the collection, they even completely forgo chemical dyes and preserve the leathers solely with oil. The unique feel, impregnation, patina, and intense color tone are achieved through boiling in pure vegetable fat. The leather remains porous and retains its natural properties, such as the pull-up effect, which allows scratches and scuffs to be filled in by rubbing. Bags from Alpenleder become more beautiful the longer they are used.
