The leather industry is creating a product that is both natural and long lasting – leather is unique in its ability to combine beauty, comfort and practicality. As we mindfully look for ways to lower consumption, leather very much fits with the ethos of ‘buy less, buy better’.Responsibly made and sourced leather is a truly sustainable material. As a natural by-product leather is very durable, long lasting and ages well. Leather needs very little in the way of life-time maintenance and still lasts for generations. Moreover, it can be repaired and repurposed. Even after the long life of a leather article leather can be recycled and at the end of life it will biodegrade. Leather therefore fits perfectly into the circular economy model.
