Part of a considerable movement to protect both <strong>British</strong> craftsmanship<br />
and promote a sustainable business model, leather brand Billy Tannery<br />
use goat skins that would otherwise have been discarded to create<br />
beautiful and unique bags and accessories. We meet its founders…<br />
Words | Emma Johnson<br />
SUSTAINABILITY HAS BECOME a major<br />
buzz word for brands recently. Being able<br />
to demonstrate your commitment to ethical<br />
manufacturing or promote your green criteria<br />
as key parts of your marketing strategy, is, these days,<br />
considerably good business sense.<br />
But, for some businesses, sustainability isn’t just a<br />
secondary concern, or a nice promotional soundbite,<br />
it’s fundamental to the identity of the brand. Not least<br />
for Billy Tannery, a sustainable leather brand whose<br />
entire reason for existing comes from a need to reduce<br />
wastage and run a truly sustainable business. à<br />
