This , we're celebrating the power of natural materials and the role they can play in creating a more sustainable future.

In a world increasingly focused on reducing waste and making better use of resources, leather is one such material. As a natural by-product of food production, it can help support a more circular economy by transforming an existing resource into something useful, beautiful, and long-lasting. When sourced from regenerative farming systems, it can also contribute to supporting healthy soils, biodiversity, animal welfare, and resilient rural communities.

This World Environment Day, we're recognising the people, practices, and partnerships helping to build a future where quality, craftsmanship, and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.

What role do you think natural materials will play in the transition to a more sustainable economy?
