ECOTAN leather options...

Thursday, 27 May 2010
I just cant tell you how hoppy up and downy excited I am about these new leathers.


For me, they tick all the right boxes.
Environmentally friendy manufacture...
Beautiful muted shades achieved with non toxic natural dyes...
Sustainable because its all natural and part of a constantly regenerating cycle...
Soft, supple and quite frankly to a leatherworker, verging on sensual, the samples I have here are like folding sheets of heavy velvet in your palm...
Made in England (less airmiles)...
Hand finished, so by buying them I am supporting a tannery that gives employment to skilled craftsmen...


Ive ordered every colour I can get and will be offering them for select bespoke items, including the Fairysteps footwear collection. The only box that they dont tick is the extra cost. This yummy product will add approx 15% to each item.
Ive also purchasd these 3 new colours. In my standard chrome tanned leathers. Caramel, Leaf (I dont want to part with a square inch of this colour but I have to) and lastly a replacement for my violet leather which is all but gone.


Its all coming to Fairysteps land on Tuesday next week. Im setting up camp at the gate till it arrives....
