Johnny Farah is a leather goods brand established in New York in 1980 by the Lebanese American designer of the same name. The brand states that it uses vegetable-tanned leathers almost exclusively, describing the process as more natural and with less negative impact on the environment than tanning involving heavy metals such as chrome and aluminum. The company also says it operates leather workshops in Beirut and owns an organic farm. Its collections include handmade and artisanal pieces, with brass hardware hand-forged in a specialized metal workshop.

Uses vegetable-tanned leathers

Johnny Farah almost exclusively uses vegetable-tanned leathers. This guarantees a very beautiful aging of the leather with time. The Process of vegetable-tanning uses tannins and other ingredients found in different vegetable matter, such as tree bark prepared in bark mills, wood, leaves, fruits, and roots. It is the ancient way to tan leathers and is eco-friendlier and has less negative impact on the environment versus the tanning of leathers involving heavy metals such as chrome and aluminum.

Moved production to Beirut

After many years of producing at different leather goods manufactures from around the world and specially from Spain, Brooklyn, Turkey, and Canada gaining experience in leather crafting and learning the sometimes age old techniques of the local artisan leather craftsmen, Johnny decided to move his production to Beirut, Lebanon to open his own workshops and combine this knowledge with the artisanal craftsmen that could still be found there.
