Leather Alternative (from apple waste)
A cruelty-free alternative to animal leather made from waste from the Italian apple juice and jam industry. Blended with polyurethane, it creates a soft, durable material. Unlike animal leather—which contributes to 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, consumes up to 15,000 litres of water per kilogram, and relies on toxic chemicals—this option is eco-friendly and sustainable.

Low-Zinc Solid Brass Hardware
Our custom solid brass hardware is durable, recyclable, and crafted with low zinc content to reduce environmental impact. It requires less energy to produce, minimises reliance on harmful zinc mining, and offers corrosion resistance for a long lifespan.

Short Supply Chain
The vast majority of our materials are exclusively sourced and produced within the same regions of Italy where our products are made. This reduces environmental impact, such as a smaller carbon footprint, while fostering strong relationships with our production partners and supporting the local economy.
