Our Commitment to Sustainability: Guiding Every Step
Sustainability is the guiding light illuminating our journey, from inception to the final creation. Inspired by our daughters and driven by a vision for a brand that leaves no footprint on their world, we embarked on this meaningful endeavour.
Our commitment to sustainability led us on a path of self-education, deepening our understanding of the intricate relationship between fashion and environmental responsibility. We are unwavering in our pledge to keep these issues at the forefront of our brand.
Our foremost priority is ensuring that no child or person endures hardship in the making of our products. To uphold this promise, each and every item is meticulously crafted in-house. This approach affords us maximum transparency into our supply chain, allowing us to guarantee ethical and responsible production practices. Join us on our sustainable journey as we shape a brighter, conscientious future for generations to come.
Leathers
We are resolute in our dedication to sustainability, and this commitment starts with our choice of materials. Leather takes centre stage in our creations, embodying one of the most eco-conscious choices available. Renowned for its plastic-free nature and biodegradability, our leather is a product of responsible sourcing, derived as a by-product of the meat industry. We meticulously select the finest full-grain, vegetable-tanned leathers, treated using natural tannins extracted from plants and natural fibers.
Our commitment extends beyond materials to encompass responsible practices. We exclusively partner with tanneries that have earned the stamp of approval from the Leather Working Group, along with consortia that continually elevate the benchmarks of leather production across all facets of sustainability. With every piece we craft, we underline our mission to harmonize enduring elegance with eco-conscious values. Join us in celebrating a sustainable journey that is both stylish and responsible.
Hand Stitching
All our products are meticulously cut, stitched and finished by hand. We hold firm in the belief that this method ensures the utmost longevity. Furthermore, this craftsmanship allows for potential repairs and transformations even after many years of use, making it possible to pass these pieces down to the next generation, ensuring a lifetime of continued use and appreciation.
“No Pattern should be without some kind of meaning.”

Exclusive Patterns
Focusing on our commitment to exclusivity, we proudly introduce our in-house designed patterns. Rather than relying on heavy metal hardware or excessive embellishments, and we prioritise the potential of leather itself and quiet luxury through our branding.
Meticulously creating unique and intricate surface patterns that set our pieces apart, ensuring they stand the test of time. Inspired by the world around us, named after the people who mean the most to us.
This dedication to detail and individuality is evident in every stitch and contour.
When you choose our patterns, you're acquiring more than just an accessory; you're investing in the artistry of leather craftsmanship that defies ordinary standards.
Packaging
Every aspect of our luxurious packaging from the ribbon to the tissue paper is made using recycled materials and is 100% recyclable. Our business cards are made form recycled t-shirts, and all leaflets and promotional materials used are made from recycled paper.
We try and reuse boxes and the packaging sent by our suppliers where possible.
As a business and as individuals we do not claim to be perfect, far from it. We know that there is more work to be done in terms of sustainable business practices, however we are confident we are doing everything we can to make our businesses as sustainable as we can in this moment and will always strive to make improvements.
Circular by Design
Your product has been cut, stitched and finished by hand for maximum longevity. Our products are designed with repairability in mind, so should a panel get damaged or a stitch break, please get it touch.
Care
All of our products are made with Vegetable tanned leather. High quality leather ages gracefully, after some time you may see signs of this in the form of marks and patina (a darkening of the leather). This is the natural ageing process and the sign of a well loved product. Should you wish to give your products a little TLC, please check our Blog for more detailed care advice
Storage
We have made the conscious choice, to avoid using extra resources to make additional items such as dust bags. We recommend that you keep your products safe and sound in their recycled boxed and tissue paper
