THE LOYAL WORKSHOP | OSCAR CARD WALLET

LEATHER Full veg-tanned cow leather produced using a unique eco tanning technique; resilient, sturdy and weathers with grace.

The Leather selected has been chosen for its strength and durability but also for its natural full grain look. The veg-tanning process allows the full character of the leather to be exposed, honestly displaying the patina accumulated over a lifetime already lived. In its second lifetime as a Loyal wallet, it will darken slightly and develop more character. This heavy stiff leather has the substance to protect your cargo and maintains its shape.

THREAD Hand stitched 0.4mm gauge woven polyester; super resilient, stretch proof and UV resistant.

The Loyal Workshop was founded to provide an opportunity for freedom. Modern day slavery is a phenomenon Loyal were not prepared to be apathetic about. Loyal believes that another world is possible; one where sex slavery is relegated to the history books. It’s a brazen dream but Loyal are putting it into action in one city, in one red-light community, with one woman at a time.

The Loyal Workshop exists to bring freedom, dignity and restoration to women enslaved in the sex industry through holistic care and by creating a working community that crafts high quality, eco-friendly, leather goods.

In 2019 they became members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). This means there practices are externally audited and approved by the WFTO community.
