Honor the source
We acquire our leather exclusively from American hides and tanneries. 100% of these hides are otherwise wasted byproducts of the U.S. meat industry. We strive to be in right relationship to earth and its inhabitants by sourcing locally, supporting advocacy for the wellbeing of animals in our food chain, creating minimal waste, upholding traditional techniques while embracing modern tools, and maintaining flexibility in our payment structures so our offerings remain accessible to everyone. We oppose exploitation of animals and people, and derive inspiration from seasonal and lunar cycles, and from sacred nature
