Let's unmask one of the most wrong and widespread bullshit about the leather used by the Fashion Industry. Some players, unaware of the reality, declare that the global fashion industry kills billions of animals for their skins every year.

This is completely untrue.

The leather used in the fashion industry is the waste material of the food industry. Nobody is killing an animal for its skin. Animals are killed for its meat, what's left has no meaning or interest for the food chain and it would have to be discarded.

Facts prove that leather is a by-product of the animal skin and it's sustainable in the way that it's an existing product switched from a waste into a usable material.

There are leathers which are more sustainable than others, the so called chrome-free leather because during the tanning process Chrome III is not utilized. Water waste is up to 35-40% less if compared to the traditional tanning. Synthetic fillers are not used and there is no risk of Hexavalent chromium occurrence.

Stop F**king The Planet,
Julia.
