Melbourne Leather Co. Sustainability Actions

Handmade leather products

We are Melbourne Leather Co. A passionate team of craftsmen and designers dedicated to creating high-quality, handmade leather homewares and bags. Based in Melbourne, Australia, we blend timeless craftsmanship with modern design to bring you pieces that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Ethical sourcing of hides

The journey begins with the selection of premium hides from reputable suppliers who share our commitment to ethical sourcing. Our leathers are carefully chosen for their strength, texture, and rich patinas, ensuring that each piece is a testament to the inherent beauty of genuine leather.

Minimising waste

Sustainability is a core value that drives us forward. We understand the importance of responsible production practices and their impact on our environment. That's why we are committed to minimizing waste, reducing our carbon footprint, and promoting eco-friendly choices.

Plastic free leather

Leather not only possesses exquisite beauty and superior quality, but it is also inherently a material that is completely free from plastic.

Leather from food industry by-products

Leather is derived from the by-products of the food industry? No animals are specifically bred or killed for the sole purpose of leather production. Instead, all the hides used in the production of leather are recycled from the food industry.

Timeless, durable products

Leather stands as a high-quality and fashionable product that remains timeless and constantly in style. By existing outside the realm of fast fashion, leather inherently embodies sustainability.
