Natural leather is renowned for its durability as it is inherently highly resistant to abrasion, wear and tear.
Our leather bags and accessories are made to last. We make a point of minimising waste. All hides are carefully cut to maximise their use and any excess pieces are reused in other products wherever possible.
To make sure that no animal is killed for the sake of fashion, we only use leather that is a by-product of meat production. We are aware of the challenges posed by the meat industry and their associated environmental impacts and we are working with our suppliers to improve traceability in our supply chains. Our endeavours and guidelines are based on the „Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare“.
In addition, we rigorously avoid the use of exotic leather and leather from endangered species. Instead, we rely on high-quality leather with crocodile and reptile finishes.
PROCURING MATERIALS
We have been a Leather Working Group (LWG) member since 2020. LWG is a group of brands, suppliers, leather manufacturers and representatives from the leather processing industry and is committed to improving the environmental performance and efficiency of leather production. LWG has developed a comprehensive audit programme that certifies tanneries based on their environmental practices.

For our products, we assume ecological responsibility by using leather that is not only robust and durable, but also responsibly produced. Our suppliers use tanneries that are certified members of the Leather Working Group and have received the highest medals in the ranking system – the Gold Standard and the Silver Standard.
Since May 2022, we have sourced 100% of our leather from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group. This means that all the leather products we offer our customers are certified – without exception.
RESPONSIBLE CARE AND USE
To enjoy your favourite bag for as long as possible, two things are crucial. Firstly, the quality of the product and, more importantly, how well it’s taken care of. You’ll find more information on how to best care for your products in our Care-Guide. It’s good for you and it’s good for the environment.
