They have a ton of veg tanned leathers and entire families of veg tanned leather and not one of them is named “olive tanned leather”. Is giving information that difficult? Basically, it is veg tanned, now go away.
I took that answer to mean that olives were used in tanning this leather. Even if the website doesn’t describe this leather, I am going to trust that someone with the name “Horween” knows what they’re talking about.

See, if my last name was Horween, I would be incredibly excited about all the new leathers that the company makes. I would have given reasons why it is something to be sought after. Especially since it takes weeks to get the initial answer. Her reply left me feeling like it is just another leather. Nothing all that big a deal about.

I disagree because if I was the must junior family member, 17th in line to the Horween throne, and the one stuck answering the customer emails 1000 times a day asking about types and finish of leathers we produced, I might have a bad attitude as well (i.e. think about Prince Harry who gave it up).
