Let us get to know them in more depth and where one can find them.

What is ethical leather?

Ethically sourced leather is leather processed and obtained from animals that are in the end stage of their life cycle. This means that once these animals pass over naturally, their skin is harvested, cleaned, and processed to make leather and is used to make bags and accessories. The best thing about ethical leather is that cows or other animals are not bred for leather from their birth and is hence cruelty-free.
