| Material | Where it comes from | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Waxed cotton canvas | Harbour Lane Mill, Lancashire, England | Heavy enough to hold shape, and re-waxable rather than replaceable. |
| Organic cotton | GOTS-certified mill in Guimarães, Portugal | Lining and pouches, with roughly 90% less water than conventional cotton. |
| Vegetable-tanned leather | A tannery in Alcanena, Portugal, using bark extracts rather than chrome | Trims and straps that darken and improve instead of cracking. |
| Wool felt | Recycled offcuts from Portuguese textile production | Hook and needle protection that does not shed microplastics. |
Materials & sustainability
We are a small company making durable objects. That is most of our environmental argument, and we will not pretend it is more.
