The Vintage Bridle Leather Collection

Our vintage leather is produced by J&F J Baker who have been traditionally tanning leather using oak bark since 1862. This tannery is one of the oldest in England and dates back to Roman times. With generations of knowledge and experience, they have perfected the process to produce beautiful, hardwearing and unique leather with superior tensile strength.

Vintage leather is made using all natural, locally, and sustainably sourced materials. The hides come from free-range beef cattle raised in Devon, England. Each hide is tanned for over a year using oak bark taken from sustainably coppiced UK trees. This year-long process makes the leather stronger and more durable than other vegetable tanned products.

After staining, the leather receives a final covering of specially blended dubbin, which has been mastered to enhance the leather’s intended use, giving it better durability, water resistance, and an exquisite level finish. All of this is done by hand to ensure thorough and even coverage, the result is a long-lasting, beautiful and strong material.

The Classic Bridal Leather Collection

English Bridle leather is a premium leather renowned for its quality, value, and durability. Originally intended for use on a horse’s headpiece and reins, it had to be both comfortable on the animal’s skin and strong enough for the rider’s safety.

Today, English Bridle is produced from vegetable-tanned leather, utilising only natural products, and the process is carried out by skilled professionals in the heart of England. Once the hides are inspected and the dye mix is applied, the leather is hand-greased with natural tallows and oils to provide a polished shine.

The white coating on the surface, known as the ‘bloom’, is a true characteristic of superior quality English Bridle Leather. Whilst it is still commonly used in the equestrian industry, we use it at Beorma to create the most beautiful small leather goods and belts, making it a versatile and timeless choice for our collections.

The Vegetable Tanned Leather Collection

Our Vegetable Tanned range offers an authentic, high-quality, full grain vegetable-tanned leather that reflects the traditions and character of the tanneries where it is produced. This range has a distinctively aromatic fragrance with each piece having its own unique shades and striking characteristics that will patina over time, which is a mark of the quality and history in each product.

When this leather patinas it begins to tell a story all of its own. The process of vegetable tanning uses organic material and natural tannins derived from barks, leaves and branches of trees and plants. After tanning, every hide is carefully coloured in a barrel and dyed through, resulting in a natural appearance that highlights the true characteristics of the hide which will darken and shine to a stunning hue with use.

Our waxed range is specifically tanned with oils and animal fats, polished with an amber stone, and finally infused with wax for a unique pull-up effect that gives an inner glow when used.
