Скачать или смотреть Leathertainment on the go! Episode 5 | Why Leather Could Be the Eco-Friendly Choice

This is a collaboration video with Smit & Zoon, a leading leather chemical company based in the Netherlands. In this special episode of our Leathertainment podcast, we’re diving deep to help people understand leather better – its origin, sustainability, and all the misconceptions around it.

In this episode, we explore the future of leather – how it’s positioned in the evolving world of conscious consumption, what the industry needs to do to reclaim its narrative, and why the story of leather deserves to be told. 🌿

We discuss:
✅ Why leather can be the sustainable choice – if we choose it mindfully
✅ The role of consumers in shaping this future
✅ The need for authentic storytelling from the industry to bridge the gap in knowledge
✅ How the craft of leatherwork, once common, is at risk and why we should fight to preserve it
✅ Surprising insights from vegan consumers and brands who are rethinking plastic-based “alternatives”
✅ What’s next for leather: from composting at end-of-life to futuristic visions for humanity 🌱

This is an episode for everyone who’s curious about leather’s place in a better world – and how our choices today shape that future.
