Sustainability
We make leather gifts and goods that last. When people receive a gift they keep and use for years, waste is reduced. Longevity matters more than trends.
Why leather
- Leather is a by product of the food industry. Using it reduces waste.
- It outlasts most synthetic alternatives that crack or peel within a year.
- Longer life means fewer replacements and less landfill.
- At end of life, leather biodegrades more naturally than plastics.
- As gifts, leather items are valued and kept longer, making them less likely to be thrown away.
We design for repair. We supply care guides and replacement parts where possible.
Responsible tanneries
We source from partners that follow strict environmental standards and wastewater controls.

FAQs
Is leather more sustainable than synthetic alternatives
Leather makes use of a by product stream from the food industry. A well made leather item lasts for years. Long use reduces total impact over time. Plastics often degrade faster and shed microplastics. End of life pathways differ by product and disposal, so results vary by context. As a gift, leather has higher retention because recipients are less likely to throw it away.
