Real leather, made with Kind®.

The leather industry is starting a new chapter. Tradition and innovation are coming closer together every day. Society is demanding change without sacrificing quality. We at Kind Leather believe that this movement must happen FROM THE INSIDE OUT. We strive to contribute to the leather industry by enhancing quality, durability, and responsibility—an ongoing challenge that drives us to improve every day.

From natural
to essential

In the pursuit of conscious consumption, we are leading the transformation. It starts with meticulous care for each hide, ensuring maximum utilization and recognizing leather as a key ally in the search for more sustainable materials. Committed to meeting the diverse needs of our customers, we drive innovation across the production chain and foster lasting partnerships.

With a keen focus on the entire process, we use our expertise not just to develop solutions, but to engage in dialogue and make meaningful commitments with those who prioritize sustainability. This is how we stay actively involved in the most pressing issues facing both the industry and society.

What makes us unique

Being Kind means understanding that the use of real leather drives the circular economy, values animal welfare and proposes production based on the material's life cycle perspective, which helps us visualize a value chain with less environmental impact.

The most iconic feature of Kind Leather is its shape: smart shape, smart leather. We reduce waste by using only the finest areas of the leather, optimizing yield and quality. What we don't use is redirected to other industries, contributing to the circular economy.
