With just a few days to go till on 25th May, it’s important to look beyond single-use plastics and consider the materials we choose every day.

Leather is a natural, durable material that can last for decades, be repaired and reused, and support a more circular approach to design and consumption.

Unlike many synthetic alternatives, leather is not plastic-based and can help reduce dependence on fossil fuel-derived materials.

From longevity and repairability to innovation in responsible production, the leather industry continues to invest in more sustainable practices across the value chain.

Today we’re celebrating the artistry, innovation, and timeless appeal of leather ready to show up across Europe’s leading Design Weeks.

From London to Lisbon, Berlin to Antwerp, this season shines a spotlight on makers and brands redefining leather through craft, architecture, and design.

We’re inspired by British creators like Michelle Wong, whose architectural approach brings clean lines and functionality to life; Studio Gameiro in Lisbon, pushing boundaries with sculptural leather furniture; Monika Assem in Berlin, crafting wearable pieces built to last; and MillerKnoll in Antwerp, showcasing the enduring elegance of leather in iconic office design.

Across each city, leather takes centre stage—not just as a material, but as a story of heritage, innovation, and lasting quality.

🌍 This , it’s about choosing materials designed to last. Leather matters because:

➡️ It supports longevity over fast consumption.

➡️ Durable by nature, leather products are made to be worn, used, repaired and appreciated for years — even decades.

➡️ By investing in quality and caring for what we own, we can help reduce waste and extend product life.

Leather is also a natural material and a by-product of the food industry, helping maximise the use of existing resources. Its strength, repairability and timeless appeal encourage a more thoughtful approach to buying — choosing fewer, better pieces that stand the test of time.

This Earth Day, celebrate durability, craftsmanship and conscious choices. Choose leather materials made to last. 🤎
