OUR LEATHERS
Our leathergoods adhere to principles of longevity and sustainability. All source herds are raised in the United States or Western Europe, to lessen the impact of cattle grazing on developing nations' ecology. The vegetably-tanning process is metal-free and relies on natural tannins, lime, and vegetal extracts to imbue the skins with their characteristic firmness, coloration, and earthy scent.
US Bridle leathers are sourced from the oldest veg-tannery on the East Coast, custom-split to our specifications.
Our Italian Vegetable-tanned leather (all other colours) are provided by founding member of the Consorzio Vera Pelle Italiana Conciata al Vegetal. The Italian bovine hides are a by-product of food production. To the strict adherence of the EU farming standards, the animals are humanely treated and responsibly raised, resulting in hides of exceptional quality.

FUR & WOOD
We used fur sparingly, and are committed to ethical sourcing. Alpaca hides are provided by animals that die of natural causes. Alpacas typically live for about 25 years, and their fur is far too valuable as a yarn for the full length of their lives to be raised for their hides. As a result, our goods that utilise furs are few and far between, and made in limited quantities.
Our wood objects are made with off-cuts from local furniture production or milled from certified responsibly source wood. The products are unsealed, or very lightly sealed with oils and waxes to age as naturally as our leathergoods.
