Make leather more sustainable, more eco friendly.

Essentially, leather is a eco-friendly material. It is the by-product of the beef. By making it leather and using it, I think this is also a respect for the creature eaten by us. And since leather is strong and durable, it will change and show its new face as you using it. People will gradually love their leather products. Thus, leather goods will always be used for a long time, this will help reducing the waste. Let people know more about it will contribute to both leather industry and environment protection, and we consider it as a mission to a company who knows everything about leather like us. We are actively trying to give this correct information to consumers like by conducting lectures, and we also joined JICA's Africa leather industry support program since 2018. Now we have started project to reduce environmental burden from many aspects, in order to gain the LWG certification which is becoming the requirement if you want to do business in global leather market.
