It's the real deal!

We honor the sacrifice of the animals by utilizing hides that are part of our food source and animal-work industry.

It's our preference to showcase scars and brands from the animal’s previous life, rather than to choose the most perfect hides. I love bringing that story to the forefront and honoring the sacrifice of the animal.

While we do use a variety of leather types, veg-tan leather (the leather I use for products like Hip Flasks, Keychains, Bookmarks and Wine Charms) is made using ancient techniques that tan the hide using nontoxic, naturally-derived plant chemicals. Veg-tan leather biodegrades without leaching chemicals into the soil. When leather does hit the landfill, it biodegrades at a rapid pace compared to most leather alternatives.
