As a privately owned, family-run business, Garrett Leather partners with Italian tanneries whose values align with ours. These tanneries have been passed down for generations, and they employ those who live in the surrounding areas. Our partners desire to follow responsible production practices for themselves, their families and their communities.

When you choose a Garrett Leather product, you creatively reuse upcycled hides, transformed into a beautiful, durable product that would otherwise end up in landfills. We carefully select our European leather hides that are a natural byproduct of the meat industry. The European Union leads the world in passing legislation that protects farmed animals from cruel treatment, banning artificial growth hormones and prohibiting the use of GMO grains. Animal farmers also follow and record the place of birth, the parents, location raised and vaccinations received for each cow to ensure full traceability. These animals grow at normal rates and graze on natural grass in spacious, open fields. Under these natural conditions, the integrity of the fiber structure is stronger and intact without any damage caused by unnatural growth rates, barbed wires or brands.
