Remnant sheep leather

The leather used on this style was sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG) audited and rated tannery. LWG aims to improve the environmental impact of the leather industry by assessing and certifying leather manufacturers. The audit protocol covers energy use, waste, water use and chemicals, as well as traceability.

B.N. Enterprises, located in Delhi, India, has been a long-term supplier of ELK, starting with a small collection in 2013. They are a family business, founded in 1991, and are now one of our main suppliers of leather goods. To facilitate better understanding and insight into our product manufacturing and responsible sourcing, we have engaged the services of a local representative who can coordinate with the B.N. team on-ground.

All products made by BN meet European REACH standards for chemical safety.

BN is a member of both Sedex and BSCI, and the factory undergoes regular social compliance audits.

This style is made from remnant leather. Our remnant program utilises existing leather stocks that our manufacturers have on hand, from our production as well as from other brands. This prevents it from going to waste.

Leather is a natural material made from animal hides that have been preserved and softened through a tanning process. We select our leathers based on their individual properties and the intended application.

Leather lasts a long time, ages well and is easy to care for and repair. Leather will develop patina over time and gets better with age.
