Women with Purpose: Urban Dezire Commitment to Sustainable Leather

At Urban Dezire, our leather manufacturing processes have always prioritized sustainable measures, utilizing methods that actively minimize our environmental footprint. A core part of this initiative involves repurposing the wastage from our production units. In many industries, if these off-cuts were not converted back into usable material, they would be discarded into landfills, posing a significant environmental risk. Instead, we reverse this cycle, proudly signaling our commitment to the circular economy.

Championing Sustainable Fashion

Sustainability in the fashion world is rapidly gaining momentum, and we deeply value our role in this vital movement. By viewing leather “waste” not as trash, but as a creative resource, we have developed a unique range of bags that continually sparks the interest of our conscious customers.

As a brand recognized for designing premium leather bags and accessories, Urban Dezire blends traditional hand-woven techniques with contemporary designs. Whenever we launch a new collection, all leather off-cuts, trimmings, and defective pieces are meticulously collected and sent for repurposing. This practice is not only beneficial for our planet but also serves as the foundation for our exclusive upcycled collections of bags and small leather goods.

The Art of the Weave

Our sustainably crafted pieces are born from excess supple leather that is cut into delicate laces and dyed in minimalist hues. These laces are then intricately hand-woven together to form the structure of our bags, resulting in some of the most unique woven accessories you can own.

Key features of our woven collection include:

• Versatile Styles: Ranging from compact mini pochettes and relaxed hobo bags to extra-large, spacious totes.
• Unique Textures: Because the weaves rely on available leather scraps, the shaping and sizing of each lace can vary slightly, creating a beautifully rich and attractive texture that immediately catches the eye.
• Seamless Details: The woven texture is uniform across the bag, strikingly contrasted by smooth leather handles and trims. Concealed zippers and magnetic fastenings allow the weave itself to truly stand out.
• Premium Finishing: Soft to the touch on the outside, the interiors are complete with multiple compartments and a personalized Urban Dezire lining.
