WHAT IS UPCYCLED LEATHER ?

Upcycled leather stands out as a comprehensive solution in the sustainability competition. Crafted from discarded, high-quality leather pieces that would otherwise contribute to landfill waste, upcycled leather addresses multiple facets of environmental impact. It not only reduces waste but also diminishes resource consumption, offering a holistic answer to sustainability challenges. The unique strength of upcycled leather lies in its ability to match the durability of traditional leather while introducing distinctive twists and a trend-setting flair absent in mass-produced items.

The selected materials undergo a meticulous sorting process, where damaged or unsuitable pieces are set aside, ensuring only the highest-quality leather is utilised in the upcycling journey. However natural markings on leather - like scars the animal gets from the wild, from fences to insect bites etc are no deficiencies but proof of its authenticity.

AND WHAT IS VEGETAL-TANNED LEATHER ?

Vegetal-tanned leather is made using natural tannins found in organic materials, such as leafs and tree barks, to add a unique look and feel to the animal hide.

Harmful chemicals are avoided.

One of the best features of vegetable-tanned leather is that it develops a patina over time with prolonged use and exposure to the environment. Due to the gentle processes involving several weeks of treatment, the vegetal-tanned leather has a much longer life than chrome-tanned leather. It has a distinctively sweet, woody fragrance that is normally associated with leather.
