Veg-tanned leather proves attractive

摘要

It's 11 years since Rafi Balouzian, a California-based specialist leathergoods designer and retailer, started Cydwoq. What is special about the shoes, boots, bags, belts and other goods he produces is that they are all made from leather he classes as "environmentally friendly" There is a strong argument for applying this tag to most leather: it's a great example of recycling natural resources and it saves millions of animal hides from going into landfill sites every year.
