Why choose handcrafted leather instead of synthetic? Sustainability from the source.

• Beyond appearance: What differentiates natural leather from synthetic leather?

In a world where the immediate and the artificial are gaining ground, synthetic leather has emerged as an economical and seemingly "ethical" alternative. But is this really the case?

Synthetic leather is often made from plastic derivatives such as PVC or PU (polyurethane), materials that are not biodegradable and whose production requires large amounts of water, energy, and polluting chemicals. In the short term, it may seem like a solution, but in terms of sustainability, it represents a profound problem.

Natural artisanal leather, on the other hand, is based on a different logic: using what is already part of the natural cycle , without adding more waste or resorting to petroleum, using what is discarded from another industry...the meat industry.

  

• Handcrafted leather: sustainability from the source.

At Jasinta, we work with responsibly tanned leather, using processes that minimize environmental impact and respect traditional times and knowledge.

Every piece of leather we use has been selected for its quality, texture, and ethical origin. This approach allows us to create handbags, shoes, and accessories that not only last , but age gracefully, reflecting their history with each use.

Handcrafted leather:

-It comes from existing resources (by-product of the food industry)

-Work is done on a smaller scale, reducing waste.

-Does not use plastic derivatives.

-Generates timeless, durable and repairable pieces.

 

• Handmade, made to last

One of the pillars of true sustainability is durability. A handcrafted leather wallet, a handmade shoe, or a well-maintained accessory can last for years—even generations—and replace dozens of mass-produced and quickly discarded pieces.

When you choose an author´s design, you're embracing a more conscious approach to consumerism. Fewer pieces, more meaning. Less noise, more soul.

 

• And luxury? True luxury is silent.

At Jasinta, we believe that luxury doesn't need loud labels or passing trends. We believe in understated luxury , the kind you feel when you touch soft leather, see well-made stitching, and know that every piece has a story behind it.

A story of people, crafts, and noble materials that respect the land and time.

 

• Choosing handcrafted leather is choosing a possible future

Choosing handcrafted natural leather isn't looking back: it's moving toward a more honest future.

A future where fashion isn't fast, but thoughtful. Where beauty isn't just new, but enduring.

At Jasinta, each piece tells that vision. And you can be a part of it.
