~ "THE FACTS OF FAKE" COWHIDE LEATHER ~

Did you know that synthetic, fake or made to look like leather materials are NOT environmentally friendly or for that matter, safe for humans and other living things?

The manufacturing process in making 'PVC' based synthetics, release very dangerous substances that have a direct impact on human health, causing issues from developmental and reproductive problems to diseases such as cancer. It is equally as harmful in similar ways to wildlife, pets, plants and the environment.

And if these risks weren't bad enough, these same products, when discarded are not 100% biodegradable and release extremely toxic particles that directly affect the health of living beings as well as our environment.

If we compare the durability of an authentic leather product with that of a synthetic product, we can conclude that no matter the method of care with a synthetic product, it will not last before looking like the 'fake' that it is! An authentic leather product will accompany you for a lifetime of enjoyment, lasting the test of time!

Therefore, it is fair to say, cheap, fake, imitation, made to look like copies of what is best made of cowhide leathers are ultimately VERY expensive! Not only are these types of products a waste of money but think about the incalculable damage it causes human health, the environment and many other living things.

And finally, we would like you to remember, a hand crafted leather product is a traditional and highly skilled art form! Therefore every time you buy a leather article you are buying something that you can use for decades and that allows for traditional knowledge to be transmitted from generation to generation creating jobs and supporting livelihoods for many families.
