Organic Holistic Leather

These designers use leather as raw material, but only from animals kept within standards of organic farming and within our definition of Organic Holistic Leather. This implies that the animals where living in their natural habitat wild or as part of livestock, and that all parts of the animal where used in food production or other purposeful production chain. Material sourced from wild animals must be part of wildlife management programs, regulated by governments and within quota connected to hunting and wild game.

To be defined as Organic Holistic, all domesticated animals used must be free range, not fed with antibiotics or growth hormones, and natural methods must be used to manage soil quality, diseases, and other issues, which arise during the process.

In this category we also accept leather from invasive species. These animals have become a problem to local habitat, and are threatening the natural balance in its surroundings.
