The Hidesign Story From its artisan roots of a two man workshop to a company of 3000 spread all over the world, Hidesign has stayed true to its strong heritage of craftsmanship and innovative design. Hidesign stands out for the sensuous naturalness of its high quality leathers and the smooth soft glow of its solid brass fittings in the leather goods it handcrafts. The brand stands for its commitment to innovation and the spirit of adventure that the products imbibe. Genuine Leather Hidesign has mastered the skill of tanning hides into premium leathers, using highly skilled techniques of vegetable tanning, our leathers only get better with age. Handcrafting Craftsmanship at Hidesign has always been slow. Vegetable tanning, hand cutting, hand polished brass fittings, small group production, hand rubbing and waxing each bag till they glow are the norm at Hidesign. Innovation & Design Hidesign has remained committed to innovation through the years. A leader in the research and use of vegetable tanned leathers, Hidesign has constantly strived to reinvent age-old crafts that are disappearing in a highly industrialized world. With an international design team based out of Paris, London and Pondicherry, Hidesign is committed to designing leather accessories that are one of a kind. Vegetable Tanning Hidesign has preserved the age-old tradition of vegetable tanning leathers that adds a soft glow to them. Our leathers are full grain (they have not been corrected to hide defects) have minimal colour or pigments to cover the leather’s natural beauty. Hidesign Leather Care 1.
