In 1973, this unique leather was discovered by divers on the shipwreck of the Metta Catharina, a Dutch cargo ship sailing from Russia with a cargo of reindeer hides. Perfectly preserved underwater, it is a beautiful example of the bygone Russian tanning technique. Cured in baths of rye or oat flour and yeast then hand embossed with varying styles of cross hatching before being soaked in seal oil and birch tan oil, this technique could never be replicated anywhere else in the world and is lost to this day.
