Spanish term or phrase: cuero bridge
"Usamos cuero bridge, que es un cuero de curtido vegetal, quiere decir que, en el proceso de transformar un cuero crudo en uno confeccionable no se usan productos químicos sino tanino, que es un producto que se extrae de la corteza de algunos árboles como el quebracho".

“Desde el comienzo, teníamos claro que la calidad debía ser uno de los pilares, por lo que solo utilizamos materia primar de origen nacional, basada en el cuero bridge curtido vegetal, cuya particularidad reside en que no se utilizan productos químicos en el proceso de producción, sino tanino”.

If you Google "cuero bridge", you'll find hits of all sorts of products (wallets, handbags, etc.) Visually, I can't seem to distinguish anything about these products... But I know the translation is NOT "bridge leather" (there is a brand of Italian leather products called The Bridge, but this isn't that). Anyone know what this refers to? Thanks in advance!

bridged (tannin) leather


Explanation:
The bridge has something to do with the binding of the chemical components, but I am way out of my depth here.

Bridged phenolic- resin tannin which provides bleaching property on
chrome tanned stock to make white leather. Compatible with vegetable extracts.
Imparts fullness and eliminated boniness.

bridging leather


Explanation:
This gets a few hundred hits, so I'm guessing maybe that's the way to go... However, in many of the references, "bridging" appears to just be a synonym of "joining" ...

However, going by the definition provided in the query: "cuero de curtido vegetal, ... no se usan productos químicos sino tanino", Perhaps the safest bet would be simply to call it "tanned leather", or perhaps more specifically "vegetable tanned leather", to distinguish it from chrome tanning or any other process.

Example sentence(s):
  • The bag has a bridging leather tab with magnetic closure
  • Very stylish and stylish bridging leather belt for men.
