leather in the world.

Naturally sustainable

As a by-product of the food industry, leather is the original upcycled material, and Muirhead’s 185-plus years of innovation have led us to create the lowest carbon intensity leather in the world. We source locally and reclaim energy from waste and re-use water. We are committed to sustainability.
