These hides come approx. 45-50 sq. ft. per hide. Green Hides believes that all leather, as the fabric of nature, should exist in complete harmony with and respect for the earth and its natural eco-systems. Yet EcoLife™, developed specifically by Green Hides, raises that standard. The collection meets ambitious goals for, for example, chrome-free tanning, solvent-free finishing - and even avoids salt treatments and conserves water by using the freshest hides. One of the few truly environmentally friendly leathers in the world, EcoLife also outperforms the competition, meeting the highest technical specifications in fashion-forward, hospitality colors. With EcoLife, true life cycle design lasts a lifetime.
