Materials used
Tusting's long heritage has given them an intimate understanding of the processes involved in the treatment and production of all types of leather. It puts the firm in a unique position to select hides that are ideally suited to the intended products and manufacturing techniques.
The beauty of the specially selected and prepared leathers is enhanced by finishing them with waxes and dyes that improve their texture and feel and bring out the exquisite subtleties of the natural scars of the hides.
Tusting uses the highest quality fittings on its briefcases. Its zips and brass fittings, for instance, are made by the Swiss company Riri, to ensure excellent durability. Lining are in cotton. |
