👉 The Leather Project is an innovative initiative dedicated to reimagining and revitalizing the leather industry through sustainable and inclusive practices. Founded by designer and activist Michael Brune, the project focuses on creating accessible, high-quality leather products while addressing environmental concerns and social issues. It emphasizes the use of alternative materials like vegetable-tanned leather, mushroom-based leathers, and upcycled waste to reduce the industry's ecological footprint. Additionally, the Leather Project promotes fair labor practices and community engagement, aiming to empower marginalized artisans and foster a more ethical and diverse leather-making community. Through workshops, educational programs, and collaborative projects, it seeks to bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern sustainability.
