Our Materials
We select our materials based on a balance of functionality, durability and their ability to age gracefully. We are also committed to using fabrics made from recycled materials and renewable plant sources in place of fossil-based ones, and using leathers with less environmental impact.
Premium leather
We use leather for things like wallets and zip pulls, because it feels great in hand, and stands up to the test of time. And we only use the best leather we can source, from Leather Working Group gold-rated tanneries. All our leather is full-grain, chrome-tanned, cow leather.
DriTan™ leather
Sourced from specialist tannery, ECCO Leather, these leathers are tanned using their revolutionary DriTan™ technique. This innovative method harnesses the moisture in the hide, with the resulting leather being rich and durable, while saving water and reducing chemicals.
