Sustainable farms reshape the future of British leather

October 25, 2025

Imagine a world where everything is made with care and provenance; where every step, from insect-thriving pasture to beautifully crafted bag, nourishes the planet instead of polluting it. A world where making leather helps restore soil health, supports local crafts-people, and builds communities of farmers and designers creating food, fashion, and hope for a better way of living.

- Caroline Garland, The Independent

This vision drives British Pasture Leather, the enterprise founded by Alice Robinson and Sara Grady, that produces leather from regenerative farms. This October, they've partnered with a select group of British makers and studios for MADE WITH a limited-edition collection available exclusively online.

Grady, a regenerative food and farming advocate with over 20 years’ experience, has long worked to connect agriculture and ethics.

After leading sustainability programmes in New York’s Hudson Valley, she moved to the UK to champion traceability and ecological integrity in the leather industry. She explains: “We co-founded British Pasture Leather four years ago to create a supply of leather made from the hides of pasture-fed cattle in the UK. Sourcing from farms that follow regenerative principles, we've built a fully local supply chain now available to brands and designers producing accessories, interiors, and even shoes.”
