No, hides come from animals raised for food. This accounts for 99% of the world’s
leather.
The main sources of animal hides are cattle, sheep and goats. Their skins are a
valuable global resource and, thanks to tanners’ and manufacturers’ skills and
knowledge, they ensure this versatile material does not end up in landfill.
Current estimates put this at a saving of 7.3 million tonnes for cattle hides alone and
around 10 million tonnes in total per year. That is a lot of potential waste
being transformed into a versatile, usable material.
Yes. It converts waste from the food industry that would be otherwise thrown away,
to make products we use in everyday life.
- Leather keeps around 10 million tonnes out of landfill a year
- Leather is long lasting.
- Leather products are repairable.

- As its end of life phase, leather degrades through chemical and biological means.
- The leather industry creates employment an skills for millions worldwide, an important defining factor in suistanability and the circular economy
Vegetable tanning is an intricate, traditional method of tanning leather dating back to
approximately 6000 BC. It is the oldest tanning method, it uses extracts from wood, and nuts of trees and shrubs. It usually takes longer to tan leather using this method, but the result is a leather with distinctive aesthetic and handle that ages beautifully.
Well-made and cared for leather products will last generations. This longevity together with repairability means that leather can make an important contribution to a society that is looking to consume less, and repair and reuse more.
Yes. Leather fibreboard is made by grinding up old leather and is used in shoes to create insoles and heel inserts and leather trimmings are used as stuffing for items such as punch bags. New composite materials are also being developed that incorporate ground up leather.
100%. We make sure all our leather goods are made with selected vegetable tanned full-grain, the first layer or top-grain genuine leather, we never make bags with second layer leather, fake leather or any other poor quality leather.
That's because each leather hide comes from a different animal and it's only natural for them to have some unique shade or tint. Remember we are talking real 100% genuine leather here? No fake stuff. On the better side, each product has its unique look and feel.
That's a sign of top-grade leather, mostly full-grain leather.
From healed scrapes where the animal possibly brushed against a wired fence, to
insect bites or thicker surface areas and neck wrinkles, or even vein marks.
Well we all have them, right?
These slight irregularities are embraced and incorporated into our products to showcase each product's natural individuality and their handcrafted nature. Cows roam freely in their natural habitat and it's only common that their hides carry the marks of their life story. These scratches are a proof that you are getting the first layer genuine cow leather.
