Sustainable Beauty:
Core Principles
Our Pillars of Sustainability
Natural Materials
We use only vegetable-tanned leather, free from toxic chemicals and sourced from eco-responsible European tanneries.
Artisan Welfare
Safe, non-toxic working conditions and fair wages for our craftsmen.
Waste Reduction
Leather is a byproduct of the meat industry—upcycling what would otherwise go to waste.
Circular Design
Biodegradable materials and lifetime warranties to combat disposable culture.
Leather Deep Dive
Why Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
Ethical Sourcing
Sourced from [Radermecker Tannery], a family-run European tannery using hides from beef production (no animals harmed solely for leather).
Natural Process
Tanned with tree bark tannins (chestnut, mimosa) over 40–60 days—no fossil-fuel chemicals or metal allergens.
Biodegradability
Unlike chrome-tanned leather, our pieces break down naturally at the end of their lifespan.
Aging Gracefully
The Story of Patina
Vegetable-tanned leather evolves with you. Over time, it develops a rich patina through use, sunlight, and care—a unique fingerprint of your journey. Unlike synthetic materials, it grows more beautiful with age, becoming a cherished heirloom.

Transparency & Partnerships
From Farm to Workshop: Our Ethical Supply Chain
True sustainability begins at the source. We partner exclusively with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical practices—from animal welfare to carbon footprint reduction. Our leather comes from Radermecker Tannery , a family-owned European tannery with centuries of expertise. Their hides are a byproduct of regulated beef farms, ensuring no animals are raised solely for leather.
Radermecker’s eco-certified processes use 100% renewable energy, and their wastewater is purified to exceed EU environmental standards. By collaborating with such partners, we ensure every material aligns with our ethos.
Our Saigon workshop is a testament to slow craftsmanship. We invest in our artisans’ skills through continuous training, preserving traditional techniques while fostering innovation. Every stitch and burnish reflects their pride—and our promise to honor both people and planet.
OUR PROMISE
Sustainability isn’t a trend—it’s our responsibility. From materials to craftsmanship, we choose kindness: for our customers, artisans, and the planet. Thank you for joining us in valuing beauty that endures.
