The materials used for our products, such as threads, labels, and elastic, are primarily sourced from Europe. This also applies to our recycled leather waste, which is produced in Italy. This material is made from leather waste generated during the production of shoes and bags. The waste is collected, ground, and re-bonded with water and natural binders. Instead of being incinerated, this material is given a second life in a new form. Recycled leather waste consists of: 55% leather waste, 35% fats and natural latex, and 10% recycled water. The colored top layer is made of a very thin PU layer based on 100% water. The material carries the Global Recycled Standard certification and has been tested according to REACH guidelines in the EU.

It’s a great workplace where talent has the opportunity to grow. By producing in the Netherlands, we ensure good working conditions, craftsmanship, fair wages, and significantly reduce our CO₂ emissions.
