Vegetable tanning takes weeks, uses plant-based tannins, and produces leather that is fundamentally different in character: firmer, denser, more resistant to wear, and capable of developing a patina over time rather than degrading from the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"77:1-77:234;4080-4313\"\u003eA vegetable-tanned leather bag gets better with age. Scratches and marks absorb into the surface and become part of the material's character. Chrome-tanned leather shows wear as damage.
