The future is circular. With the production of, for example, fashion items, footwear, car interiors, aviation seats and upholstery, we should aim to use (and reuse) products as long as possible and reduce waste to a minimum. Material sourcing plays a vital role in this matter. Are you ready to make your leather goods circular?

Zeology Leather, the circular material choice

A perfect example of circularity
Fashion game-changer Anya Hindmarch has created a bag collection that can decompose back to earth. The collection, that is called Return to Nature, has been designed to be capable of degrading naturally – from earth, to cow, to bag, to earth and on again in a model of perfect circularity.

The Return to Nature bag styles are crafted from Zeology leather – aldehyde free, heavy metal free and chrome free – and can biodegrade naturally back to earth.
