 The leather industry is more
eco friendly than you might think..

RECYCLED

 Real leather is a by-product of the meat industry. It is a natural, renewable material upcycled from the hides and skins that would otherwise go to waste in landfill.

long lasting material

Leather ages well unlike man made or synthetic materials.
 A product made with leather lasts between 10 to 20 years and reduces consumption of other types of material, therefore, less waste is generated. 

REUSABLE

There’s an opportunity to generate leather by-products along its manufacturing process such as: organic fertilizers, animal food and toys, collagen and stuffing for punching bags. Also, at its very end of life, leather will biodegrade.

alternative
to PLASTIC

Responsibly made leather as ours is a valuable alternative for petroleum based products such as plastics.

Disclaimer: There’s no such thing as synthetic leather because leather is always natural!

touch it

Synthetic feels completely smooth, almost like plastic. Real leather will feel soft but will also have a grainy texture, it’ll feel stretchier too.

 

OBSERVE IT

Real leather is naturally made from real animal skin, its surface will not be entirely uniform and will include imperfections. After all, that’s what makes leather – leather. Also, check the label, if it’s real leather it will proudly say so.

SMELL IT

There’s no reliable way to change the smell of real leather, if it smells like plastic, trust us, IT’S PLASTIC. Leather has this unique natural, organic essence that cannot be altered.

REAL LEATHER

VS

SYNTHETIC

Synthetic is traditionally made with a plastic base, and is then treated with wax, dye, PVC or polyurethane to create the color and texture.

This process releases harmful toxins, not only for the planet but for human beings. Fake leather can’t survive the wear and tear of everyday life, it doesn’t last much so you’ll have to replace it several times. Not cool for the planet, huh?
