Manchester-based clothing brand Boda Skins has launched a circular idea that involves taking back old leather jackets from customers for repair and resale. Material from any jacket beyond repair will go towards making multi-purpose bags. It will then use these bags as packaging for sending out new jackets; this is part of a wider zero-waste packaging strategy.. Boda Skins is the brainchild of designer and chief executive, Nathan Alexander, who has never hidden his deep dislike of fast fashion. His belief is that people should have fewer, better clothes in their wardrobes. In this context, he describes leather jackets as "a brilliant piece of fashion to own". They are sustainable items, can be worn with anything and are easy to care for, he says, adding that they are "the epitome of cool". His brand is focused on offering clothes that will stand the test of time, garments that people will forge a lasting relationship with, fall in love with and "wear to death".
