Sustainable Leather

Sustainable Leather

At Sarep and Rose, our leather is purchased from East African cattle farmers. Our leather is sustainably sourced due to it being a byproduct of the cattle industry. The tanneries we work with purchase the hides from local cattle farmers who were burying the hides.

March 2023 Spotlight: Kenya Tote

Our Kenya Tote was one of our first all full-grain leather bags at Sarep + Rose. We realized that some of you preferred a more muted, classic choice for your everyday, everywhere bag - so we skipped integrating the handwoven traditional fabrics on this design and launched this clean-cut Tote bag.
