Leather is a natural animal material. Leather products offer durability and longevity, as they are not only made to last but soften and gain character with age. We have used remnant leathers to create this style. By liaising closely with our makers, we are able to use up discarded leathers from either ELK or other brands' production, ensuring it does not go to waste.
