Tanner’s Craft – featuring Edelman Leather.
A recent partnership has resulted in a new line of leather and brass hardware called “Tanner’s Craft” – a marriage of the finest leather from Edelman Leather and the solid brass creations of Colonial Bronze. They are also leaders in developing anti-microbial coatings for all of their products-a clear coating to protect products and people from harmful bacteria. In addition, Colonial’s products are certified Green – consisting of 95% pre-consumer recycled material – certified by Scientific Certification Systems, a leading third party auditor of environmental claims.
Connecticut Lighting Centers is proud to support locally owned and operated manufacturers of quality products. Money spent locally stays in the local community longer. For every $100 you spend, $69 returns to the community through taxes, payroll & other expenditures, which in turn invigorates the local economy.
