Why use leather?

leather recliner chair

At Makers & Menders, we are proud advocates of sustainability and conscious consumerism.

That's why we strongly believe in using recycled upholstery leather for our products. By choosing recycled leather, we actively contribute to reducing the demand for new animal hides, which in turn helps to minimise the environmental impact of the leather industry.

In contrast to conventional leather production, recycling upholstery leather reduces water consumption, energy usage, and greenhouse gas emissions…. Furthermore, by using recycled leather we make an ethical choice that aligns with our commitment to minimising waste and promoting circularity.

Although vegan leather alternatives have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they are either plastics based, hugely expensive or lack the robustness of genuine leather we have chosen not to use them.

By incorporating recycled upholstery leather into our products, we not only create beautiful and durable items but also contribute to a more eco-friendly future. We build our notebooks and other leather items to last!
