Craft

Leather Be was born in 2018 from a passion for the craft of leather working, with the aim of designing and manufacturing timeless and durable bags. Growth is incremental, but the passion for the craft of leatherworking, the love for the raw material and the beauty of the final product are always the foundation.

 

Turning a piece of leather into a beautifully crafted bag or accessory has always been my creative outlet.

Elegance

Each piece is designed with a focus on timelessness and simplicity, reflecting my belief in the beauty of understated elegance.

 

The collection has evolved, with the Classic M, Lucienne and Blanche BP being the showpieces.

Sustainability

From the outset, from ecological and ethical considerations, there was an urge to develop a line with an alternative to animal leather. Basic principles such as sustainability and quality were not to be relegated to the background. Apple Skin, made from waste (peel, core and pulp) from the apple juice industry, produced in Italy, proved to be an excellent vegan alternative.

 

The Leather Be collection was expanded in 2021 with the ‘Leather Be Conscious’ line. Sustainability is at the heart of Leather Be. The origin of the hides, the tanning method, production and transport are fully transparent. Customers receive maintenance tips to extend the life of their purchase. A repair service and refurbishment of products are available, and leftover materials are used for small items. Short chains are used to obtain raw materials, without intermediaries.
