Exploring Vast and Limited Leather Collections
Leather is traditionally tanned in large quantities, typically starting from 50 square meters per color. Looierijen (tanneries) do not usually keep stock, which leads many people to rely on leftover leather from producers. These limited collections offer affordability and a wide variety of choices. However, they often come with uncertainties regarding origin, production conditions, and suitability for specific applications. Additionally, once the stock is depleted, reordering or finding the same color becomes challenging.
At Leatherbox, even within our limited collections, we place a strong emphasis on sustainability and transparency. We provide guarantees regarding the origin and application of our limited leather options. On the other hand, our fixed collections offer the advantage of being consistently available for reorder. Designers can work with color charts and specialize in specific leather types. Furthermore, the origin, certifications, and other essential leather properties are clearly defined. Although fixed collections may have a relatively higher price point, they ensure makers consistency and eliminate the need for relying on leftover stock.
