Leather is as natural a material as your own birthday suit.
It is a “by-product” of the meat industry, in that cattle is never raised for hides alone. Animal hides would be thrown out as waste material if not utilized for leather. So, as long as our society enjoys steaks and hot dogs, leather is an environmentally sound use of hides.
Nothing stands up to rough “wear and tear” treatment like leather. This is the reason your leather handbag can potentially last a lifetime and even longer. With proper care, in years to come, your bag will be even more beautiful than the day you purchased it because it will now have a patina, which enhances its beauty.
Leather processing has minimal impact on the environment.
Every bag is actually an original because no two hides are alike. Only genuine leather carries natural markings unique to each hide. Those little markings and imperfections, scratches and growth marks are proof positive that your bag was crafted from genuine leather.
