ethics & sustainability
Leather Working Group
All our leather is now exclusively sourced from a tannery that havs achieved certification from the Leather Working Group (LWG), the leading authority on environmental standards in leather production.
Certification by the LWG signifies adherence to rigorous sustainability criteria, including the efficient use of water and energy, and the responsible management of chemicals.
Our tannery partner is deeply committed to ethical and environmentally conscious practices, actively supporting initiatives such as full material traceability and efforts to prevent deforestation.
Full Grain Cow 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. 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 LWC.
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.
