Our Leather Traceability Story

As a pioneer in responsible sourcing, we don't just adhere to industry standards - we lead by example

Our Leather Traceability Story

Since the brand was founded in late 2015, we have focused on one thing- developing leather traceability without compromising quality or design. A great chef would never use unknown ingredients in their kitchen, so why would we allow leather of unfamiliar origins into our atelier?

Ever since the start, we questioned the existing systems that fashion is built upon, demanded inclusion on animal welfare within leather supply chains and the industry as a whole. We saw a need for change and the development of new solutions. We found inspiration within chefs’ ways of sourcing ingredients to carefully produce food that enhance the quality and stories of the ingredients.

Why Leather Traceability Matters

Fashion has always been fundamentally reliant on agriculture, especially for raw materials. Over the past 100 years, the increase in intensive agriculture has taken a devastating toll on the natural ecosystem. Each year, 10 million hectares of forest are lost and agricultural expansion accounts for 73% of global deforestation. The link between intensive global farming practices and; climate change, biodiversity collapse, has never been more clear. This coupled with fragmented supply chains in fashion has driven a negative impact on animal protection and welfare. This must change.

Around the globe 70 billion animals are reared on 570million farms. 1.5 billion of these animals are cattle. At some farms life is great for these animals, and their welfare is the highest priority. But unfortunately for the vast majority this consideration is overshadowed by profit and supply chain demand.

Motivated by Josefin´s work at WWF to raise awareness and improve animal protection we decided to create a new bridge between

fashion and agriculture. If we are going to use leathers - it needs to be traceable back to the farms, back to the farmers that reared that animal, back to the individual animal, and it needs to tell the story of a life well lived.

It is our vision that that with each leather good sold we can link the two worlds of Fashion and Agriculture. So that creativity and beauty can coalesce to realise an enduring story of animal protection and the highest quality of product. By linking two of the world´s largest industries with each other, we hope to be part of a new system, a system that can arrest the march on biodiversity collapse, whilst supporting trusted farmers to rear and care for their animals in the most transparent and productive ways. By creating a system of traceability, and laying bare the whole story of the product, we hope to be one part of the change we need to see to make our planet a better place, and tell the stories of a life well lived.

Welcome to our Leather Traceability Story

STEP 1

Responsible Sourcing

We work exclusively with Swedish family-owned farms with great attention to animal welfare, biodiversity and controlled slaughters.

Step 2

Respectful design

The leather designs are constructed so they are everlasting, can be repaired and adds a dimension of artistic timelessness to the design. The designprocess starts with the sourcing of the perfect leathers, from an animal protection point of view. This is being done in regards of the thickness needed and the usage of the final leather goods.

All leathers are vegetable tanned, to respect our planet and our strive towards circularity.

” Actively we include scars or mosquitobites when possible on the final design, to salute the signs of a life well lived. A life lived outside, filled with joy, love and fun. Normally luxury brand exclude theese signs, as its regarded as imperfections”

Founder, CEO and Artistic Director Josefin Liljeqvist.

Step 3

A dedication to detail

Motivated to reframe fashion's relationship with nature and natural ecosystems, we choose to create beautiful products that have full animal supply chain traceability.

All leather goods designed and produced by us are part of something greater, the idea of a more natural ecosystem, linking good animal welfare practices with the final leather product. This information becomes avaliable to you via our traceable code, it tells the story about the farm, the philosophy of the farmers and the welfare of the animals.

”It is a sustainable and innovative leather because, still following tradition, it recovers and enhances all processing residues”

”In 2018 Presot registered the no-waste leather brand which certifies the quality and traceability of the material. It is a sustainable and innovative leather because, still following tradition, it recovers and enhances all processing residues”

Eugenia Presot, Conciera Pietro Presot Srl

Step 4

Numbers with a story to tell

Each of our pieces comes with a unique number (traceable code) which allows full tracability of the leather that was used. Each number tells a story, each piece respects it.
