Leather is not sustainable.
Between the tannery and the dye house, leather receives multiple applications of chemical preservatives, colorants, stiffeners, and modifiers to give it its desired finish. These additives are harmful to the environment and human health, and make the material impossible to
biodegrade.
On top of the leather production process, animal husbandry is one of the leading causes of climate change, due to the heavy use of resources needed including land, water, food and fuel.
As a brand, we are aware that some vegan alternatives out there can be just as bad in terms of resources used. That’s why we spend a huge amount of our time researching to find the most sustainable alternatives to leather available in the market. Our efforts, findings and solutions are ever evolving.
