NON:LEATHER
Alternatives to leather
For patches, leather is a classic and widely used material. However, ethical and environmental concerns are prompting brands to seek non-animal alternatives. Leather production raises concerns such as animal welfare and the use of hazardous chemicals in the tanning process. Leather alternatives are often made from synthetic materials, which may also raise concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals during production.
We have explored a range leather alternatives available for trims and created NON:LEATHER: A collection of material options as viable alternatives to real leather, including in-depth material information to enable informed choices. From basic to high-end, standard to innovative, our range provides a variety of options with distinct characteristics and aesthetics. Explore our selection to discover the versatility and style that complements your preferences.
