The Art
of Leather
The soul and spirit of nature. Nature is perhaps the most intimate contact we have with our origin. We believe that the best way to honor her is by using what she has to offer with respect. By giving nature a second life, we repurpose what many regard as waste into beautiful natural leather. Through us, nature lives on.

Leather itself, properly made and sourced, is a truly sustainable material. As CTU, we have invested all of our resources and energy to build processes and acquire technology that can take care of the elements of nature that we have most contact with: water, soil and air.
WATER
Our vital and precious water is used in various steps of the leather process. We are grateful to this element and conscious of the damage we can cause if we don’t take responsibility for cleaning it afterwards. CTU has invested in a Wastewater Treatment Plant that purifies every drop that is used in our plant.

AIR
By cleaning the water used in our leather tanning process, we are protecting the air that our employees and community breathe. Clean air equals health for our people and planet.

SOIL
Leather waste contains a great source of protein in the form of collagen. This protein improves soil quality in agricultural fields as an alternative to chemical-based fertilizers. This is one of the ways we proudly contribute to a circular economy.
