The Earth Collection. Beautiful timeless bags made from sustainable leather. The leather in our new Earth collection is developed using the Zeology method by Nera Tanning. In crafting our bags, we use hides that would otherwise be wasted. By handling them carefully, we can transform these hides into beautiful bags.
Normally, the treatment of hides involves the use of chrome, heavy metals, and aldehydes, but these harmful substances are no longer used with Zeology. Zeology is an alternative to traditional tanning agents and is based on the natural volcanic clay mineral zeolite. This mineral is abundant in the Earth's crust and ensures that chrome and other harmful substances are no longer needed in bag production. The use of Zeology results in less pollution and reduced discharge of chemical waste and wastewater. Moreover, Zeology is more biodegradable when it comes to tanned material. It's a much cleaner option!
But the positive qualities of Zeology don't end here. Zeology not only provides sustainable leather but also delivers outstanding leather performance; that's what makes Zeology unique. Leather made with the Zeology method possesses unbeatable characteristics such as grain density, lightfastness, and heat resistance.
Choosing a bag from the Earth Collection means opting for a better world, less pollution, and a timeless bag that will last for years.
