Our impact on the environment is at the front and centre of our designs, material choices and production methods.
 

1. Designing for permanance

We ignore trends and take a slow fashion approach. We design from a place of freedom and focus on form factors that can stand the test of time.

2. Sourcing responsible materials

Our leather is sourced from tanneries which employ responsible leather production. We have four main suppliers of leather, namely; African Gameskin, Leatherrite, Whatnot and Crest Leather. Crest Leather is a member of the Leather Working Group and Sustainable Leather Foundation. 

3. Traditional crafting that minimises our carbon footprint

Every Mebala bag and accessory is handcrafted. This reliance on traditional crafting methods that have been trusted for thousands of years enables to minimise our energy usage and ultimately, our carbon footprint.
