Avoiding rubbing the leather; at minimum apply once a month to maintain the integrity of the leather.

Longterm results lead to a deduction of waste and greenhouses gases, thus, contributing to a healthier environment and for future generations to come.

 

 Our greeting cards and care cards are crafted from 35% cotton and 65% ECF (elemental chlorine free) wood-free primary pulp from responsible sources. All applications on our paper adhere to 100% recyclable, neutral PH papers produced in an alkaline environment reducing the risk of corrosive reactions after disposal; one of the most limiting factors in aquatic species distribution. Absence of heavy metals and responsible forestry certification FSC C012975. Our suppliers are also certified in ISO 14001 EMS (Environmental management system) which provides structure to organisations in enhancing and monitoring their productivities pertaining to environmental sustainability.

 

​We source exclusively from tanneries who have been certified ISO 14001 and have been awarded top tier gold accreditations with the LWG (Leather Working Group) in environmental compliance and eco friendly leather.  Harmful chemicals are prohibited into the tanneries. Our partners are members of the Blue Angel group which provides a comprehensive structure in waste disposal, water management systems, monitored emissions and the absence of harmful consequences on the environment and employees health.

 

​All our leathers are byproducts of the meat industry. Utilising animal skins for leather products is a sustainable alternative to incinerating the skins, promoting a circular economy whilst reducing greenhouse gases.

We exclusively partner with tanneries who are committed to ongoing research and improvement in their sustainable management systems.  Our leathers are Carbon Neutral certified, which means a commitment to a reduction in green house gas emissions; our tanneries utilise solar panels for efficiency of energy production as well as exclusively purchasing only electricity from certified renewable sources.

An ongoing strategy has been successfully in place to reduce water and chemical consumptions. A broad range strategy has been strongly implemented to have achieved these extraordinary results and certifications; subsequently the inclusion of incorporating and collaborating with several offset emission programs, a strong strategy in place to maintain their environmental vision.

"Leather is a completely renewable material"

Renewability means having a renewable cycle of between 1 & 5 years in balance with the natural cycle of the ecosystem. Unlike non renewable resources, such as plastics and synthetic fibres and PU leathers (Polyurethane), which impoverish the ecosystems and will not be available for future generations. Utilising renewable resources helps reduce the use of non-renewable fossil based raw material.

Our Leathers have received certification to a high renewability of its hides, containing up to 90% biobased material which means our leather is renewable up to 90%.

 

​Our microfibre phone linings are soft and durable to enhance the protection of your phone and reduce the likelihood of scratches and damages. Our linings are OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified ensuring environmentally safe and socially responsible textile production. Certified carbon neutral, defined as an offset reduction from credit in CO2 emissions produced from their productions to achieve net zero.

 

 We utilise carbon neutral certified materials; certified by TUV SUD in the fabrication of our products and support companies with new innovations and visions towards a carbon neutral design industry.

 

​Woven edge satin ribbon is certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS); manufactured from recycled bottles diverted from landfill, the entire transformative process is monitored by the GRS.

 

​Our priority is to reduce harmful waste in the production of products in the global consumer market. We utilise raw materials responsibly as much as we can with continual research to improve our products. Essentially sustainably sourced cotton, wood, paper and leather constitute a large part of our designs due to their ability to degrade in a short time of 1-5 years, relative to their counterparts; polyester, polyurethane, nylon and plastic materials which can take 10's to 100's of years and in some cases longer!

 

​When we utilise synthetic materials for aspects of our design, we centre a non-linear approach uniting recycling and circularity. ​We are dedicated to ensuring that all aspects of our products and packaging can be recycled and or reused.
