ethics & sustainability
the leather
100% full grain cow leather is used in all our pieces. Unlike lower grade leathers, this leather maintains a lot of its original characteristics and durability.
This superior selection of leather will have some creases and small natural marks on the hide which adds to its character and quality.
ethics & sustainability
One of the foundations to me as a designer is the ethical responsibility to our environment and our future:
local farms
We work specifically with a local independent tannery that works directly with a local farm in South India. Smaller businesses like our own allow us to work in smaller batches with more control over our sustability efforts.
meat industry
The leather we use is always a by-product of the meat industry and sourced from local farms. We only use Cow Leather for this reason. It is never sourced from any tanneries that have unethical practices and we do not use exotic skins.
water use
The tannery I source from has water purification facilities to make to prevent water waste from the tanning process. They are licesed under the leather federation
no waste
There is a zero waste policy within my workshop, where I use every part of the hide to create the products. I also up-cycle the samples to create new pieces.
