Leather is an upcycled material

Leather is upcycled from a by-product that would otherwise be wasted. It is long-lasting, repairable and its durable quality enables many items to be repurposed at the end of life.  www.townsendleather.com/the-townsend-story/townsend-the-environment 

Leather is a durable material.

Well-made leather lasts a long time and unlike many man-made, or synthetic materials it looks better with age, acquiring a depth of patina and wear pattern that is individual to the user – much like a favorite pair of jeans.

As we mindfully look for ways to lower consumption, leather very much fits with the ethos of ‘buy less, buy better’. Investing in quality leather is investing for the future.  www.townsendleather.com/durability

Leather is a versatile material

Leather is versatile. The skills of the leather makers take the same basic raw material and turn it into many different ‘fabrics’ with different qualities and benefits. Leather can be engineered to be durable enough for furniture yet soft enough for comfortable footwear. It will make the finest dress gloves or protective, abrasion-resistant motorcycling gloves. Leather makes the most supple of jackets or the firmest of walking boots.  Leather is the eye-pleaser as a headrest on a jet seat and as the headboard of your hotel room.  

There are so many reasons to love leather and any day is a good one to celebrate it, but today, World Leather Day is an especially great one to settle into your favorite leather chair, study the natural beauty, think of the long life it will have, and appreciate the joy and work that went into making that beautiful piece.
