Francis Tsang writes on LinkedIn: Supporting a socially and environmentally Responsible Tibetan Yak leather value chain can have significant benefits for both local communities and the environment.

Good quality leather naturally ages and character over time without looking worn or damaged.

Here are the examples: twenty-year-old leather welted boots. We bought the pair from our client, who initially asked us to repair minor parts.

The Red Wing Shoe Co. 875 is a classic boot known for its durability and craftsmanship. According to the label, it was produced in July 2007 and is naturally still in good condition. The boot is made from high-quality leather, contributing to its longevity and comfort.

Despite age, the leather shows no signs of cracking, indicating that the original owner manages proper care and maintenance. Additionally, I believe the boot has undergone serious inspection at the factory to meet high quality and craftsmanship standards.
