Recycled, vegan or vegetable-tanned?
These words often come up together, but they do not mean the same thing.
Recycled leather: offcuts of already tanned leather, pressed or assembled into a new material.
Vegan bag: no animal skin, see our vegan bags.
Vegetable tanning: new leather tanned with plant tannins, see our vegetable-tanned leather bags.
How to choose a more responsible bag?
A bag that lasts a long time is still the most sustainable choice. Check the thickness of the material, the stitching and the finishes on the product page. For pieces in felt or made from reused materials, see our recycling and felt selection. Our article on leather durability explains how good leather ages.
