Why does vegetable tanned leather change color?

Vegetable tanned leather is generally in its original color, and the coating is almost invisible, so the pores are more clearly displayed on the surface. It is precisely because of this that it is easier to absorb water. Vegetable tanned leather has the effect of dripping and discoloration. The dark color may not be obvious, but the light color and white color are obvious. After the dripping water penetrates quickly, the leather surface will turn red. After a while, the color of the leather will change. Go deeper. With the increase of use time, the leather surface will gradually become brownish yellow. After a period of time, the color will stabilize. After maintenance, the gloss of the leather surface is very good, and it becomes the color of old beeswax that many people like to say.

There is nothing magical about discoloration, it is a natural process of leather oxidation. Some people like to say "padding". The word patina can be widely used in panyu, zisha teapots, and bracelets. It can also be used on leather. It is a process of water absorption + oxidation on leather. . All leather will change color, but colored or dark leather is not obvious. The discoloration of vegetable tanned leather is more obvious. Many vegetable tanned leathers must be made with gloves to avoid uneven color of the finished product. Bags made of vegetable tanned leather are often touched by human hands. There is sweat and oil on the hands. The skin is easily absorbed when touched. With dust and natural oxidation, it will become brownish yellow or brownish red over time.
