What leather buyers verify
Footwear and bag manufacturers specify leather by animal, tanning method, thickness, grade and finish, and they need consistency across deliveries. International buyers additionally screen on effluent treatment and chemical management before they will place an order at all, because their own customers require it. Tanneries that publish neither are bought from by traders and priced as commodity hide.
What we build for a tannery
First, product pages by leather type, tanning method, thickness and finish, with grade definitions stated. Second, environmental and chemical compliance documented — effluent treatment, restricted substances — which is now a gate rather than a bonus. Third, minimum orders and lead times, so a manufacturer can plan. Fourth, sample requests as a structured process, since leather is judged by hand and no order is placed without one. Available hide volumes per month matter too, because a manufacturer planning a season needs to know you can hold supply.
