Product sustainability
All our leather products are handmade in our workshop in Vienna using the finest quality, vegetable-tanned vachetta leather. Our leather comes from a family-run tannery in Tuscany, Italy and is certified by the "Genuine Italian Vegetable-Tanned Leather Consortium (Pelle al Vegetale)". The leather is tanned using only natural raw materials in a traditional and eco-friendly process. No chrome is used in the tanning process.
In our commitment to sustainability, we actively work to minimise overproduction. As a result, certain products may temporarily appear as out of stock. Thank you for joining us in creating a more sustainable future.
We use solely acid-free, FSC and PEFC-certified paper made in traditional paper mills in Europe. All our notebooks are printed in Vienna with eco-friendly, vegetable-based inks.

frequently asked questions
what makes this edition special?

Each piece is crafted from stone-polished leather in three new colours, mango, strawberry, and chocolate, inspired by the joy of summer. Developed by our product developer, Anna, this edition is all about slowing down, savouring the moment, and carrying a little sunshine with you.
what’s the difference between the Ice Cream leather and your regular leather?
The leather is the same high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather we use in all our products, but with a special stone-polished finish. This gives it a smoother, cooler feel, perfect for summer, while still allowing it to develop a beautiful patina over time.

Equipped with super strong magnets, it will keep your most treasured pen firmly in place and always close at hand while being easy to detach when you want.
how is it sustainable?
We have developed an efficient system to minimise or even avoid leather waste altogether. We punch the individual leather hides in the most resource-saving way possible, using up as much leather as we can. We use larger, imperfect leather scraps for prototypes of upcoming products, and produce keyrings, bag tags and bookmarks out of smaller leftover leather pieces, as gifts for our customers.
what is vegetable tanned leather?
Tannins are used to tan the leather. They are vegetable extracts, powders extracted from plants such as Quebracho, Mimosa and chestnut trees. No chrome is used in the tanning process. Once the leather is tanned, it can be used as is or dyed. It is coloured using aniline dyes, which are soluble in water and colour leather without covering the natural grain of its surface.
