Soft supple leather is produced by Mongolian artisans through the tanning of hides and skins of animals, primarily cattle, sheep, lamb, and yak. The tanning process converts the putrescible skin into a durable, long-lasting and versatile natural material for various uses, including clothing and accessories. In Mongolia, leather made from the hides of their animals is just one of the ways the country’s nomads derive a living from their livestock.

Visitors to Mongolia are often treated to pink dawning sunrises. That early morning beauty inspires Grassroots’ Mongolian artisans, who sometimes dye their leather in the same romantic hue they see enveloping them overhead.
