A recent study led by Stephen G. Wiedemann (publis

A recent study led by Stephen G. Wiedemann (published in Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 2023) revealed some insights into the environmental impact of our clothing choices.⁠
If we wear our favourite natural fibre garments more often - imagine a 50% increase - we will have a positive impact on climate change. ⁠
⁠
The study found that we can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions by extending the lifespan of our clothes, especially those made of sustainable natural materials (for example leather). It turns out that the environmental impact of all-natural fibres becomes even more impressive when we look at how they fare compared to new clothes made from petroleum-based materials.⁠
⁠
So, what's the takeaway? Choosing quality, durable fashion pieces made from natural fibres not only gives your wardrobe a stylish look but also plays a key role in fights against climate change. It's a win-win! Let's make sure every outfit counts for the planet! ⁠

WHAT MAKES LEATHER SUCH A GREAT MATERIAL TO DESIGN

WHAT MAKES LEATHER SUCH A GREAT MATERIAL TO DESIGN WITH? This is the question we asked Liam – the Global Creative Director of Ecco⁠
⁠
His answer: Where do I start!? What constitutes my own feelings about “great design” and to a great degree this is also true within my role at Ecco, I look for three elements. I look to embody and harmonize aspects of:⁠
⁠
Where do I come from?⁠
Where do I belong?⁠
Where do I hope to go?⁠
⁠
Given that I see design this way, the idea of memory is obviously central to achieving this blend within product. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that out of all the materials used in fashion and footwear (wovens, knits, felts in cottons, silks, velvets, canvases, twills, damasks, brocades, nylons, rayons, ramies, viscoses, bio-fibres, etc) “Leather is the material with by far the greatest potential to capture memory. When both designers and consumers who are passionate about leather talk about this, you’ll often here them describe leather as a living material. Leather captures, complements, and remembers shape”⁠
