unique leather

Our leather comes from Ahlskog Tannery, Kruunupyy, Finland. With over a hundred years of experience, Ahlskog Tannery handles the most luxurious and ethical leather on earth.

Ahlskog Tannery specializes in tanning reindeer and white-tailed deer hides. These raw materials of limited availability are truly something luxurious from Finnish nature. Reindeer hides are a by-product of population control and meat production that provide exclusive material for unique leather products. Leather tanning is a traditional handicraft that includes over 40 different work stages. All of our leather is vegetable-tanned.

We are not afraid of showing the sign of life. We respect life too much to waste any precious leather. That’s why we are also using the parts where scars and other marks can be found.
