Designer Jana Keller found scant conscience in the fashion branch and asked herself if sustainability, tradition and awareness could be combined with design, zeitgeist and luxury. To find the answer, she devoted herself to creating RoyalBLUSH - accessories with a conscience. Inspired by the Swiss Alps, the RoyalBLUSH collection literally wake's up the wanderlust! With exclusive natural 'must-haves', every city-nomad is perfectly in gear.

 

RoyalBLUSH vegetable tanned leather:
RoyalBLUSH's chosen leather stands for a gentle vegetable tanning, rather than the use of aggressive chemicals. Vegetable tanning is an artisan tradition, handed down from father to son, for over 200 years, using both antique recipes and state-of-the-art technology. Among the various tanning methods, vegetable tanning is still nowadays the most classical, traditional, and most recognizable as well as the most natural and environmentally-friendly and the only one able to give leather unique characteristics. The transformation from raw hides into a material that will resist throughout time is an astonishing process based on the use of natural tannins extracted from chestnut or Argentinean quebracho trees. Nearly forty days are actually needed to transform raw hides into unique vegetable-tanned leathers.These natural tannin extracts make the vegetable-tanned leather unique, immediately recognisable and easily distinguishable from leather tanned with other methods.

 

Vegetable-tanned leather absorbs the traces of our living, it becomes older without ruining. The natural ageing does not compromise its resistance and gives it a vintage look with warm colour shades showing evidence of being a natural product. No leather looks like any other, its characteristics offer a wide range of possible interpretations in shape and design. The older the product, the prettier it gets. Use, sun and rain change the shade, creating a natural protection, the 'patina'. This peculiarity turns each bag into a unique piece.
