Waste reduction

Designed for longevity, engineered to minimise waste

We plan pattern layouts to maximise each hide, repurpose offcuts through local partnerships, and design furniture built to last generations—reducing the need for replacements.

  • Digital nesting ensures optimal hide usage before a single cut is made.
  • Leather remnants become small goods crafted by local artisans.
  • Repair and refresh services extend the life of hospitality and residential pieces.

See how we transform raw materials into heirloom-quality furniture with minimal waste.

People & community

Investing in the people who shape our furniture

Our responsibility extends to the craftspeople, suppliers, and communities that support Leather Craft every day.

Fair, safe workplaces

We provide competitive wages, benefits, and continuous training. Safety audits and ergonomic improvements keep our atelier healthy.

Apprenticeship pathways

Paid apprenticeships welcome newcomers and second-career artisans, pairing them with master upholsterers and frame builders.

Community partnerships

We support Indigenous arts organisations, Toronto design schools, and circular-economy collaborations that repurpose offcuts.
