HANDCRAFTED LUXURY

LIMITED EDITION PIECES

Here at SANCIA, we design products that outlast the fast-fashion lifecycle. Working with artisans in creating handcrafted pieces, using high-quality vegetable tanned leathers and sourcing natural fibers that are eco-friendly and biodegradable rather than synthetic fabrications.

SANCIA leather goods are crafted from the highest quality full-grain leather, predominantly using skins from Europe including Italian nubuck, Italian suede and vegetable tanned leather. Each piece is carefully hand-selected ensuring the highest quality possible.
Our vegetable tanned leather is a classic leather that shows its wear beautifully over time. It is luxurious and strong with a softly worn waxed finish that deepens into a distinctive patina. Your vegetable tanned bag will forever evolve and become more beautiful, developing character and darkening in color.

Vegetable tanning is an Eco-friendly, organic process due to the natural materials used in the tanning process, relying solely on natural vegetable tannin's from bark and other plant tissues. Vegetable tanning is one of the oldest and most intricate methods of tanning dating back to 6000 bc.
