All our leathers are sourced as a byproduct of the food industry from the Brittany region in France, that would have otherwise been thrown away. We use the finest full grain leather that shows natural markings and grain characteristics of animal skin. With no sanding applied, only the cleanest hides are selected, making this leather exceptionally fine and valuable.
In our dedication to sustainability, we primarily use vegetable-tanned leather. This means that raw hides are immersed in natural tannins from plants, tree barks, roots and flower pods for at leats 40 days to tan and turn into leather. This natural method, free of chromium, without harmful chemicals gives your bag rich colour and gorgeous natural leather scent.
Viva’s bags are designed to last and only get more gorgeous with age and wear. A rich patina is part of the natural ageing process of premium leather that gives it that luxurious worn in look. Over time, your bag will become softer, its colours will deepen, and a subtle sheen will develop, revealing its unique, ever-changing beauty.
Our bags are low maintenance. They will not stay pristine and that’s the whole point. Wear them with joy, just keep them away from direct sunlight and rain. Clean with a damp cloth, and once a year, treat your bag with a leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness. We also offer repairs (fresh stitching, edge colour coating, hardware replacement).
