Sustainability

We would rather tell you what we actually do than what we intend to. Our canvas is woven from recycled PET, and our hide is tanned with bark rather than chrome — it takes longer, it costs more, and it means the leather ages instead of peeling. Offcuts become pouches and card holders rather than waste. What we are not: carbon neutral, certified organic, or plastic free. We ship in paper, we repair rather than replace, and every claim below is one we can point at a supplier for. The rest is work still to do.
