Tanning Zeology Tannery Rompa Leather Brand Noor Wentholt read more An exciting collaboration has started between our Zeology-team, tannery Rompa Leather and bag designer Noor Wentholt. Rompa Leather, already a partner of Zeology, will be setting up an R&D pilot with the guidance of Nera to manufacture Zeology Leather to meet Noor Wentholt’s wishes for her leather designs. What makes this collaboration unique? It is a pilot for both designer and tannery: Noor knows exactly what she wants and needs in terms of colors and handle of the leather and of course sustainability; Rompa Leather has taken up the challenge to manufacture the leather to Noor’s wishes and to make it biodegradable and compostable, using Zeology as a tanning agent. Handmade leather bags Noor Wentholt is a 4th generation artisan leather bag maker. With this new project, also the leather will be handpicked and made according to Noor’s wishes. In my studio, I immerse myself in exploring and inventing new ways to transform leather into aesthetic and timeless pieces. Visit Noor Wentholt’s website Part 1: Discuss the possibilities The first meeting has taken place (October 2024) and was a great, inspirational session where Noor’s ideas and Rompa’s technical expertise made their first encounter. Of course, under the guidance of Nera. Noor took some designs, pieces of leather and pantone color samples with her to make clear what she is looking for. We are exciting to see how Rompa Leather will turn these wishes into a new, biodegradable piece of leather! Stay tuned for more. Collaboration kick-off with Noor Wentholt, team Rompa Leather (Ricardo Cid, Tatiana Schreiner en Christine Mukakasa) and Danielle Koenen-Okkinga (Nera) BD Tan is Rompa Leather own label for Zeology leather.
