VÄSKA works with genuine vegetable tanned leather from Spain. The leather derives from the best local tanneries with a long history and knowledge of leather production, which guarantees the highest quality of our bags that perfectly combine tradition and innovation.

Natural vegetable-tanned leather is one of the oldest methods of making leather and has been used for thousands of years. It refers to keeping the natural colour and characteristics of the leather, and is the most natural and eco-friendly type of tanning. Unlike chrome leather (chemically treated), vegetable tanned leather is treated with natural tannins found in barks, wood, leaves, plants, etc. The end result is a genuine and lush appearance, and best of all, it ages beautifully. No heavy metals or toxic substances are included in the tanning process of vegetable leather.

Väska believes in durability and smaller-scale production: quality before quantity.

Using this as a rule, Väska leather bags are locally produced in Barcelona using carefully selected high quality leather from the best local tanneries in Spain.

Being vegetable tanned, the leather does not contain any harmful chemicals, which could potentially damage our environment. All the substances used during the tanning and dyeing process are REACH compliance, the European Community Regulation on chemicals and their safe use run by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) in Helsinki.

All the products are made within a context that respect people and the environment.

Väska leather bags are designed and made in a small atelier in Barcelona, Spain. Each piece is carefully crafted by hand from start to finish using traditional techniques and the highest quality material.

In the production process, each model is drawn in a sketchbook, then converted into 3D shapes by experimenting with paper and finally handcrafted with the utmost attention to detail.

By keeping a hands-on role in a limited quantity production, no two creations are exactly the same, each making its own unique statement.
