A Wonderful Natural Product
Unlike industrial products that offer standardized quality, leather is a natural product and therefore always shows signs of individual charm. Each piece of leather is unique and is influenced in its color and texture by environmental factors such as light. Even with daily use of the leather product, a patina develops over time, making each item your very own favorite piece.
Leather collars, leather harnesses, and leather leashes generally react more sensitively to contact with water than, for example, synthetic fiber products. This can lead, especially in the beginning, to color transfer or excessive wear that can make the item look worn out quickly. Therefore, permanent or regular contact with water is not recommended. HUNTER offers a wide range of nylon and plastic products that are much better suited for use in damp environments. However, one thing always applies: if the product becomes wet or damp, rapid drying of the material, e.g., on a heater, is not advisable. Patting dry and slow drying help preserve the quality of your product. We also recommend ensuring that no moisture remains on the metal fittings.
The leather products from HUNTER go through numerous elaborate production steps that ultimately make the items something very special. We pursue our high-quality standards starting with the incoming inspection of the raw materials. Only leather hides that meet the requirements are processed further. To meet all later challenges related to wear and tear from dogs or cats, all leather items are additionally enhanced through elaborate processes. Reinforcements with polyamide or similar materials inside, as well as precisely placed stitches, give the product the reliability and safety that dogs and owners expect from all HUNTER products.
Trust Is Good – Quality Control Is Better
As a leather-processing manufacturer, HUNTER places particular importance on controlled purchasing of goods. Accordingly, HUNTER always ensures compliance with guidelines and legal regulations concerning leather tanning at our suppliers. The tanning of the leather used in HUNTER products takes place exclusively in Europe. This production is subject to strict European regulations and legal requirements regarding occupational safety as well as permitted tanning agents and chemicals. Accordingly, all our tanneries are committed to the Europe-wide applicable requirements of the REACH regulation.
Confirmation of compliance with the REACH regulation is also a mandatory prerequisite for all leather suppliers at HUNTER. Adherence to legal regulations regarding occupational safety, animal husbandry, and the processing of raw materials into genuine quality leather is a central aspect in the manufacture of all our leather products. The demand for uncompromising quality begins at HUNTER with the raw materials and is a visible sign of respect, love, and responsibility towards people and animals.
