Our Commitment to Ethics & Sustainability

At Morgan + Wells, integrity and environmental responsibility are at the core of our business ethos. We are guided by the following principles:
 

  1. Ethical Sourcing: We prioritise suppliers who uphold fair labour practices and environmentally responsible standards. Our leather is sourced from animals raised primarily for meat or dairy, with a focus on humane conditions and slaughtering practices.

  2. Sustainable Practices: We are committed to eco-friendly operations, minimising waste, conserving energy, and utilising recyclable materials. Our packaging is recyclable, and we prefer working with like-minded companies that prioritise fair wages and safe working conditions.

  3. Vegetable Tanned Leather: We primarily work with vegetable-tanned leather, using natural tannins extracted from plant materials. This process significantly reduces environmental impact, with organic waste decomposing naturally. Our sourcing from Pelle Vegetable Consortium-certified tanneries ensures the highest environmental standards and we are very proud to work with them.

  4. Transparency: We believe in transparent communication with our customers, sharing information about our ethical and sustainable practices and addressing any concerns openly.

  5. Pricing Reflecting Quality: Our responsibly sourced leather may come at a slightly higher cost and with less consistent supply, reflected in our small-batch offerings. All our products come with a lifetime guarantee on stitching, ensuring they stay in use and become cherished heirlooms.
     

At Morgan + Wells, we are dedicated to crafting quality products with a focus on ethics and sustainability.

We are constantly seeking ways to improve our practices and become a more responsible business.
