SUSTAINABILITY

At Bufalli, we believe that Leather is a valuable material from nature.

Leather alternatives have become increasingly popular in recent years, however, many of these are derived from fossil fuels. PVC and Polyurethane are common leather substitutes, these materials are not only plastic and petroleum-based, but also are far less durable than leather and often not made to last. Genuine leather is one of the strongest and oldest natural materials on the planet. This ensures longevity that simply cannot be found with leather alternatives. 

We are mindful of the ethical and environmental concerns related to leather production which is why the leathers we use across our collections are a by-product of food production and a natural alternative to fossil fuel synthetics. 

Where suitable, we utilise leather off-cuts that would have otherwise been disposed of, ensuring as little waste as possible. Waste leather poses environmental threats itself and our process eliminates this wastage, transforming it into long-lasting, bio-degradable, and characterful accessories. We pride ourselves in evaluating our practices so we can continually take steps towards reducing our carbon footprint and impact on the planet to keep creating sustainable, luxurious, and affordable leather goods.

We believe that sustainability doesn’t end at the finished product, but also the packaging it comes in. Mindful of the impact that plastic has on our planet, we are continually taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint. Our signature mailing bags are an eco-friendly alternative to standard polythene bags, and can be used for frequently for Grocery shopping.
