The Swedish Tanners’ Association promotes Swedish production of leather, sheep and reindeer skins

The Swedish leather industry processes a residual product from the food industry into a functional and comfortable material with a very long lifespan.

Leather is durable, hard-wearing, functional and comfortable and – in our opinion – very beautiful. Leather produced under the right conditions contributes to a sustainable society. The raw material in Swedish tanneries is hides and skins from cattle as well as sheep and reindeer, all of which are raised to provide us with food, i.e. meat and dairy products. Our Swedish tanneries thus utilize a residual product and refine it into a material with a long lifespan.

Leather is not a disposable product!
