Why Leather?
Since we at Urbankissed value ethical and sustainable collection, we are often asked why we choose to stock leather. As a team of animal lovers, animal welfare is incredibly important to us. So is the protection of our planet. That is why we choose labels who champion natural materials that will naturally biodegradable over time, with upcycled leather that is a bi-product from the food industry.
Contrary to other leather sandals, these comfortable sunshine staples have been tanned and dyed using vegetables, chestnuts, moss and other trees - without the use of toxic chemicals that is extremely damaging to the environment and workers. The high-quality leather comes from cowhides that are a by-product of the food industry. The cowhides come from trusted wide-open farms in Crete, close to the leather tannery.
