Only those of us who have gone horse riding for more than one day through the vast lands of the Argentinean Pampa can understand the fact that the gauchos who inhabited those lands valued their freedom above anything else. They needed nothing else. They rode their horses during the day, along territories so similar to each other that only in their fatigue could they find the measure of the distances covered. They would sleep wherever the night found them, lying on the same piece of leather and sheep skin that they would use to ride, under a sky full of stars, which gave them the necessary clues to find their way. They would eat whenever they felt hungry: they would simply kill a cow, roast the tastiest pieces on an open fire, and leave the rest as food for dogs and birds. Until the beginnings of the XX Century, anyone who felt hungry in the Argentinean Pampa was authorized to kill a cow. They were only required to leave the animal's skin stretched out in the sun, the only part of the animal that was valued in a land of such abundance.

Since then, much work has been done in the Argentinean tanneries to obtain leather that, apart from its smoothness and natural gloss, has the optimal resistance to wear and tear.
