A new sustainable leather alternative-Recycled Leather
Engineered to perform-naturally.
It is made from discarded wet blue leather off-cuts that normally end up in the landfill.It`s unique patented process empolys high pressure water jets to force the recycled leather fibers through an integral textile reinforcement core in a continuous closed-looped system with 99% of water recycled .It is a clean technology product using sustainable natural leather fibers and 100% zero carbon electricity in its production process.

Sustainability :
We are the people behind the sustainable leather alternative.We create what people want and what the planet deserves.There is no doubt that nature`s resources are limited .Over-consumption is taking its toll on our planet.And there is an urgent need to recycle more and waste less.So that`s exactly what we do ! A significant amount of leather is unused and often destined for landfill.We reduces that problem by recycling tonnes of leather hides rather than wasting them.
Our commitment to sustainability:
To minimise our environmental footprint and ensure we`re making efficient use of the world`s scarce natural resources,we focus on three key areas.Such as Increasing recycled content,Lowering carbon emissions,reducing use of earth`s scarce resources.
