Leather

Leather is an incredible material that can be extremely durable and delicate at the same time. It is worth the labor investment to make lovely things, because they will last. Inferior materials, such as genuine leather and ‘vegan’ leather crack over a relatively short time, since they are largely coated with plastic. By design, they are used by fast fashion manufacturers that are not concerned with the lifespan of their goods, or their ultimate home, filling our landfills. Leather is a byproduct of the agricultural industry, and helps reduce waste in meat and dairy production.

We carefully select all the materials that we use to optimize the longevity of our products. Our leathers are all top grain or full grain cowhide, the highest quality grades of leather. We are always on the lookout for long lasting materials for our product line, and pair our goods with all metal zippers, and high quality metal buckles and hardware.

Practicality and ease of use are the two core factors we consider when selecting materials, because we want to design goods that people actually use. If maintenance is easy, it will lead to a long life for our products, and ultimately our clients will have to buy less.
