Maryam Port 1071 Horsebutt

Conceria Maryam operates as a specialized vegetable tannery established in the heart of Tuscany's traditional tanning district. The facility employs approximately ten craftspeople who maintain centuries-old tanning knowledge while incorporating modern technologies. The tannery was founded as a totally vegetable operation, focusing exclusively on plant-based tanning methods.

The Port 1071 horsebutt undergoes Maryam's traditional vegetable tanning process, which utilizes natural tannins extracted from plants and trees, including powdered mimosa and quebracho. This slow process transforms raw horse hides into finished leather through careful treatment with natural materials, respecting environmental considerations throughout production.

The tanning process follows traditional Tuscan methods passed down through generations, with the tannery serving as heir to centuries-old experience and knowledge. The process emphasizes the slow passage of time, allowing natural tannins to thoroughly penetrate and transform the hide structure.

The horse hides used for Port 1071 production are primarily sourced from Poland, where they serve as byproducts of the food industry. These hides specifically come from horses that did not produce suitable material for shell cordovan due to size limitations or other quality factors, making the horsebutt leather production part of Maryam's comprehensive utilization strategy.

Port 1071 horsebutt exhibits the dense, fibrous structure characteristic of horse anatomical regions used in premium leather goods. The leather maintains full-grain integrity with exceptional density and a rich tactile feel. This density makes the material particularly suitable for applications requiring durability, including boots, shoes, wallets, and other small leather goods.

The leather demonstrates the typical firmness associated with horsebutt material while retaining slight suppleness that improves with use. The dense fiber structure contributes to the leather's longevity and resistance to wear, making it a preferred choice for high-stress applications.

The Port 1071 color designation reflects a sophisticated grey-brown hue that exhibits natural variation between individual hides. The leather is described as an ever-changing material that appears to shift between grey and brown appearances depending on viewing angle, lighting conditions, and time of day.

This color variation is enhanced by natural scarring and markings present in the horse hide, creating unique patterns and character marks that make each piece distinctive. The natural variation appeals to users seeking authentic, unprocessed leather character in their goods.

Maryam offers Port 1071 horsebutt in multiple finishing configurations to suit different applications and aesthetic preferences.

Port 1071 horsebutt serves as a premium material for high-end footwear production. The leather's dense structure and durability make it particularly suitable for work boots, dress boots, and casual footwear that requires long-term performance. Notable applications include service boots and specialized footwear where material integrity is essential.

The leather's color-shifting properties create footwear that appears different under various lighting conditions, adding visual interest to finished products. The natural variation between hides ensures that each pair of shoes or boots possesses unique character marks and color distribution.

Beyond footwear, Port 1071 horsebutt finds application in premium leather goods manufacturing. The material's density and durability make it suitable for wallets, belts, bags, and other accessories requiring long-term use. The leather's distinctive appearance and aging characteristics appeal to consumers seeking authentic, artisanal leather products.
