Materials & responsible production

What goes into your product

Practical information for your supplier review.

Rolls of leather in stock with a Leather Working Group tag
  • Sustainable options on request

    If your brand asks for it, we work with lower-impact alternatives: chrome-free and metal-free leathers certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG), bio-based and apple-based materials, and water-based glues.

  • Your choice of materials

    Conventional leathers, exotic-effect engravings, hair-on, PU and bio-based materials, selected with you for each project.

  • Surplus leather

    Leather left over from production is turned into small accessories, on our own initiative or at a client's request.

  • Supply chain

    Development, sampling and quality control are run from our workshop in Portugal. Depending on the project, some materials, components or production steps come from outside the EU.
