And veg tan? I try not to use chrome tan in stuff I make for both environmental reasons and the fact its a pain to work with but we have been veg tanning for thousands of years.

    we've (as human) been doing things for thousands of years, which was barely noticeable because there were less than a billion of us until the 1800s, less than 400 million until 1400s and the obvs even less before

    My point was more that harmful chemicals in the sense of chromium salts etc. aren't present in veg tan which, for the most part, is boiling it in a load of tree bark.
