Herd launches British Pasture collection
UK fashion brand Herd has launched a leathergoods collection using British Pasture Leather, which uses hides certified by regenerative farming organisation Pasture for Life and tanned in the UK.
Herd describes itself as having a “profound respect for the land and soil” and a “place-based materials-first approach”. Its knitwear uses Bluefaced Leicester wool, processed within just 150 miles of the farms in Yorkshire.
The leathergoods collection of bags and belts has been designed by stylist Bay Garnett and is inspired by vintage designs.
The suede bags (pictured) retail for £845.
At the start of November, British Pasture Leather co-founder Alice Robinson told BBC Radio 4 the leather industry would benefit from establishing clearer connections to the farming communities that produce the raw material.
