Our materials

Skin recycling

We chose to work with leather because it's a natural material known for its strength and durability. At nat & nin, raw materials represent 40% of its carbon footprint.

Our leathers come from waste from the food industry, which would otherwise be destroyed during the tanning process.

These quality raw materials are selected from recognized and controlled tanneries to guarantee manufacturing carried out with respect for the environment and health.

Choosing the right materials
& partners

The leathers are tanned according to the laws in force in the European community, in accordance with the REACH regulation (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization & Restriction of Chemicals) which limits the use of products harmful to the environment and health.

Most of our partner tanneries are LWG (Leather Working Group) certified, a guarantee of sustainability and energy-responsible production. LWG is a protocol that certifies the tanning process in terms of energy and water use, waste management, and the use of chemicals previously adopted in the tanning processes.

"This sustainability approach is reflected in the close connection and solidity of our relationships with our suppliers and partners with whom we have collaborated since our beginnings nearly 15 years ago and allows us to ensure a level of environmental requirements and well-being for their employees."

Alternative to leather

Since summer 2022, Nat&Nin has been creating an elegant and timeless capsule collection where shiny leather meets a natural and authentic fiber: raffia.

Handcrafted in Madagascar, the Le Flâneur tote bag, Le Aligre and the Le Promeneur shoulder bag are transformed into bohemian it-bags.
