\u00a9 LEIT & HELD<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Strikingly minimalist laptop sleeves, card pouches, wallets, bagpacks and pockets<\/strong> in cognac-colored or black leather. This is a brief description of the product range of the Berlin-based brand LEIT & HELD, founded in 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We aim to create products for conscious consumerism<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Behind the pure look is of course a concept that has been thought out to the maximum<\/strong>. The interdisciplinary team did not come together by conicidence. Pia Held<\/strong> has worked as art director and designer, Dana Mikoleit<\/strong> is an interior designer and Nina Conrad, the Sustainability Manager. Yet, what connects the three? The desire for honesty, sustainability<\/strong> and transparency<\/strong> in the fashion or leather industry.<\/p>\n

And because change only works together, the team is happy to share its expertise.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The three women prove that this can work with a consistently well thought-out concept<\/strong>. Everything made in Germany. Under fair conditions<\/strong>, of course. They even provide insight into the pricing policy.<\/p>\n

\"LEIT<\/p>\n

LEIT & HELD \u2013 Made by nature in Germany.<\/h2>\n

The animals live in southern Germany<\/strong> and are kept in a species-appropriate manner on certified organic farms<\/strong> for the meat and dairy industry. LEIT & HELD works exclusively with leather from animals that have been respectfully slaughtered at the certified organic slaughterhouse<\/strong> Fairfleisch<\/strong> (Demeter) in \u00dcberlingen. Vegetable tanning<\/strong> is done exclusively with renewable raw materials at the August Renz leather factory<\/strong> in Tuttlingen. The minimalist leather goods are produced in the family-run manufactory H.F. Anton<\/strong> in Solingen.<\/p>\n

LEIT & HELD is a member of Textile Exchange<\/strong>, the largest NGO working for change in the textile industry<\/strong>. With their expertise, they advocate more transparency in the leather industry at the Responsible Leather Roundtable<\/strong><\/p>\n

And why leather?<\/h2>\n

Because it is the consistently sustainable material<\/strong> for LEIT & HELD. As a by-product<\/strong> of the meat and dairy industry, they use the leather to make their collection instead of letting<\/strong> it rot. Vegan variants based on petroleum-based plastics and provided with chemical binders and coatings are no alternative<\/strong> for the trio from Berlin.<\/p>\n
