Why Sustainable Leather?

At Maris & Sol, we believe in creating products that are both luxurious and responsible.

Vegan leather isn't as sustainable as it sounds.

That’s why we’ve chosen to use sustainably sourced leather rather than synthetic alternatives like vegan leather, which often rely on petroleum-based plastics and chemical-heavy manufacturing processes. Our leather is a natural by-product of sustainable farms, ensuring that no additional resources are wasted in its production.

Unlike synthetic materials, real leather is naturally waterproof, durable, and ages beautifully over time—minimizing waste and extending the life of your tote. Plus, our tanning process is free from harsh chemicals, reducing environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Beyond sustainability, we are committed to supporting local artisans in Colombia by working directly with skilled craftspeople who handcraft each tote using ethical and traditional techniques. This not only ensures superior craftsmanship but also helps sustain their livelihoods and preserve handmade trade in the face of global mass production.

By choosing Maris & Sol, you're investing in a timeless, high-quality piece while making a conscious choice to support sustainable farming and communities.
