Ethical Responsibility: No Leather from Questionable Breeding

We firmly distance ourselves from exploiting endangered species purely for the sake of fashion. At projektleder.de and projektleder.at you will never find genuine crocodile leather, snakeskin or other exotic hides. We strictly refuse to sell leather from animals bred under harsh conditions just to serve passing fashion trends. Our range is built on ethical principles and genuine respect for life.

Sustainable Upcycling Instead of Luxury Poaching

Our focus is on high-quality cowhide, buffalo leather, water-buffalo leather and calf leather, all of which arise as a by-product of the food industry. Rather than wasting these valuable resources, we turn them into long-lasting design products. Popular looks such as the crocodile or zebra embossing are created using modern technical processes applied to ordinary genuine leather. This gives you the luxurious look without putting animal welfare at risk.

Transparency in Wholesale, Retail and with Our Private Customers

We examine our supply chains closely to ensure that no hides from dubious factory farming end up in our warehouse. For us, transparency is not a buzzword but everyday practice. Our customers across the EU can rely on every piece of leather in our shop being selected responsibly. We stand for design with a clear conscience.

1. Our Principle: Quality and Transparency

We see ourselves as the link between traditional craftsmanship and modern trade. Integrity is the foundation of our business model. We communicate honestly about the nature of our materials – whether genuine leather, faux leather or textiles.

Honesty: We make no false claims about material properties or origin.
Transparency: Differences between natural products and synthetic materials are clearly stated.

2. Product Safety and Standards

As experts in leather, faux leather and fabrics, we commit ourselves to the strictest safety standards. Our products are not only attractive but also safe for people and the environment.

 REACH compliance: We ensure that all chemical limits (e.g. during tanning) are strictly observed.
 Quality control: Every batch is checked for durability and its specific properties.
Labelling obligation: All materials are declared correctly in line with the Textile Labelling Regulation.

3. Responsibility in the Supply Chain and Ethical Standards

Protecting animal welfare and the environment is not a trend for us but a duty. We work closely with our suppliers to keep the origin of our hides and fibres traceable.

 Resource conservation: We promote the use of ecologically tanned leather and sustainably produced fabrics.
Fair labour: We make sure our partners guarantee fair working conditions and social standards.

 Secure payment: We only offer verified and secure payment methods.

Non-discrimination: We treat all customers and partners equally, regardless of origin or size.
