About Leather Naturally

AN INDUSTRY MEMBERS ASSOCIATION THAT FOCUSES ON
EDUCATION & THE PROMOTION OF LEATHER

WHAT WE DO

Leather Naturally acts as a global voice for the Leather industry to promote the use of certified, responsibly made leather by providing trusted facts and inspiration for consumers, designers and brands.

 

Leather Naturally’s educational and promotional activities focus on leathers made from hides and skins that are a by-product from the food industry that would otherwise mostly be turned into waste. 

Responsibly made leather is a valuable alternative for oil-based products such as plastics – including PVC and Polyester – adding value to an important renewable material, via efficient and modern processing techniques.

Leather Naturally believes that the promotion of sustainably made leathers supports a continuous effort and the development of best practices supporting a circular economy. Moreover, it facilitates dialogues between the leather upstream supply chain, manufacturers and consumers.

This website is a resource that anyone can access to obtain balanced information about the leather industry..
