Cutting a bag leaves usable leather behind. At Strade® those offcuts are sorted by size and turned into card holders, keyrings and interior pockets instead of being thrown away. Nothing large enough to become a product leaves the workshop as waste.

Leather carries most of its environmental cost before it reaches us. Using more of every hide is the single most effective thing a small brand can do. Around a fifth of our small goods now come entirely from offcuts, and our packaging uses recycled board with no plastic film.

Every bag ships with a repair guide and a free first year of servicing. Send it back for new hardware, restitching or a recolour, and it goes to the same workshop that made it. The most sustainable bag is the one you never need to replace.
