In Uruguay, we are a cattle-raising country and leather has been used since ancient times. That's why we decided to work with leather. It is a really elegant material. Another characteristic of Tenaz is that we work mainly to order, which allows us to be more sustainable and exclusive. This means that we produce only what is necessary, reducing waste and being more responsible for the environment. We have even started recycling not only for new creations, but also when our clients ask us to give a new touch to their old purses. It is exciting to be able to reuse and give new life to these high-quality leather products,\u201d says Andrea.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64046 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"766\" height=\"444\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08-18x10.png 18w, https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08-200x116.png 200w, https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08-400x232.png 400w, https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08-600x348.png 600w, https:\/\/universomola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Screenshot-2024-06-20-at-12.45.08.png 766w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 766px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 766\/444;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>The exclusivity of art<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tenaz not only creates fashion, but also collaborates with nationally and internationally recognized artists.
