Official launch for Made in Mongolia leathergoods
27/03/2015
The leather industry in the country is working towards becoming more sustainable, with help from Dutch businesses and chemical company Stahl.
Consumers can visit Aduu Mal’s website to see where the bags, jackets and shoes were made and from which herd the leather is sourced.
Mr Ubbink said: "The hides from the horses and sheep come from herds that are led around the Mongolian plateau by the herders. These animals roam freely and have an amazing life. They will only be killed when the locals need to do so for their own use, and it will happen on the steppe itself. Stressful transportation to the slaughterhouse is thereby not required. The hides are residual products that, thanks to the latest tanning techniques, can be processed into sustainable leather."
The collection will be available to buy from March 28 in the Netherlands and later in Germany, Scandinavia, Russia, Britain and Australia
