SUSTAINABILITY
WE DO NOT MAKE MUCH. WHAT WE MAKE, WE MAKE PROPERLY.
ONE COLLECTION A YEAR. NOTHING IS RUSHED TO MARKET, AND NOTHING IS LEFT TO BE FORGOTTEN BY THE NEXT SEASON.
EVERY PAIR IS MADE IN ENGLAND, BY HAND. THE LASTS ARE ENGLISH. THE WORK IS SLOW, AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN MAKER AND MAKING IS SHORT.
WE CHOOSE MATERIALS THAT AGE. LEATHER THAT MARKS AND HOLDS ITS SHAPE. NOTHING THAT LOOKS BEST ON THE FIRST DAY AND WORST ON THE THIRTIETH.
OUR LEATHER EXCEEDS THE LEATHER WORKING GROUP STANDARD, THE LEADING INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE AND TRACEABILITY IN LEATHER. WE WORK IN DEER, COW, CALF, LAMB AND GOAT, AND NEVER PIGSKIN. EVERY HIDE IS A BYPRODUCT OF THE MEAT INDUSTRY OR OF CONSERVATION. NO ANIMAL IS RAISED OR KILLED FOR ITS SKIN.
BEYOND THE FORMAL STANDARDS WE HOLD OUR OWN BAR, WHICH WE CALL MASTER GRADE. WE TAKE ONLY THE LEATHER THAT MEETS IT, AND WE TRACE THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM TANNERY TO PAIR.
THE SOLE IS BUILT TO BE REPLACED. A PAIR IS MEANT TO BE REPAIRED AND WORN AGAIN, NOT BINNED AT THE FIRST SIGN OF WEAR.
WE MAKE A CARE KIT WITH SAPHIR MÉDAILLE D'OR. LEATHER THAT IS FED AND PROTECTED LASTS LONGER. CARE IS NOT VANITY. IT IS HOW AN OBJECT SURVIVES.
THE BOX IS MADE IN ENGLAND AND FSC CERTIFIED, AND MEANT TO BE KEPT. THE PACKAGING IS PART OF THE OBJECT, NOT SOMETHING TO THROW AWAY ON THE WAY HOME.
WE DO NOT DISCOUNT, AND WE DO NOT FLOOD THE MARKET. EXCESS IS THE OPPOSITE OF CARE.
THE MOST SUSTAINABLE OBJECT IS THE ONE YOU NEVER NEED TO REPLACE.
