Description
With this apron made of high quality, vegetable-tanned Bonsmara cowhide you acquire a piece of genuine craftsmanship. Due to its high quality grain, which becomes more and more beautiful through use, it is ideal for carrying firewood. The surface is treated with a mixture of beeswax and animal fat, so that the final product still shows the individual scars and folds of the cowhide, giving testimony to the cow’s life. The rough leather inside should be used for placing the firewood to avoid damage (scratches) to the smooth leather side. A durable cotton canvas band has been sewn on as a neck and carrying strap. The firewood apron is designed for comfort and functionality, it is full of character and will only get better with every wear.
To craft an exceptional leather product you have to start with the best materials. And so, Els & Co. products are crafted from the best quality vegetable-tanned leather. To achieve that genuine old school finish, the leather is sponge dyed, oiled with a special mixture of beeswax and animal fat and shaped by hand. What further distinguishes Els & Co. from all other leather mongers is not only that every single stitch is made by hand, but that there is no production line and each and every item is made by one craftswoman from start to finish. The final touch is her initials that she stamps onto the leather, proudly signing her creation. The whole process is done by hand and it can take several months to achieve a finished and unique product.
