Leather has held on for so long because it’s a durable material and it can be a way of mitigating waste. Make it timeless.
Core values
The changing world has consequences for the fashion and designing industry. These are the core values under the sustainability umbrella:
Aged to perfection
New standard
Timeless
-
Aged to perfection
Each leather product is unique. The aging process of leather brings a livelihood to products, a human and tactile experience that allows the material to ‘narrate’ the design.
-
New standard
The fashion industry is too often connected with exploitative working conditions, modern slavery, microplastics, pollution, overflowing landfill sites, and rapid resource consumption. It’s now clearer than ever that a system change is needed.
The new standard is Re-set, Re-adjust, Re-focus, Re-leather from the heart.
-
Timeless
Your project should be adaptable to trends and time. Make it more relevant than just a fashion circle.
