Transparent production

Transparent Production at Gusti Leder - what does that mean?

At Gusti Leder, alongside high product quality, one thing is especially important: Transparency! From the very beginning, it was important to our CEO Christian Pietsch to approach the topics of leather and production in India with realism and honesty.

Showing customers as openly as possible how our products are made has become one of our company's greatest strengths.

Our Company Philosophy

Rightly so, the conditions of animal husbandry and slaughter for the leather industry, as well as the production and working conditions in India, have polarized. In the consumer-oriented fashion world, such issues quickly fade into the background.

Gusti Leder represents a clear stance that strongly supports values such as sustainability, ecology, animal welfare, and human rights.

By regularly checking compliance with all guidelines and thoroughly training our employees, we can represent our work with a clear conscience.
With honesty and openness on these topics, we have built a strong relationship of trust with our customers.

Creating Transparency: From Theory to Practice

Our partnership and trustworthy collaboration with producers, based on long-standing business relationships, is particularly important to us. Only in this way can we ensure the adherence to our sustainable, humanitarian goals in production. We also want to communicate these structures externally.

Our customers should know exactly what is behind a product they want to buy.

  • This way, you have the opportunity to get information about each product regarding:

    ► Tanning method (vegetable or chemical)
    ► Country of manufacture (India or Italy)
    ► Type of leather (buffalo leather, cow leather, goat leather)
    ► Producer (large producer or smaller family business)

    Additionally, you will find a 360° panorama for each product that shows you the production environment where your leather item was made.
