Leather has tremendous value when utilized correctly.
Asiatan is a tannery committed to changing the narrative behind leather.
Leather is the ultimate up-cycle material, so long as we do the right thing. Leather products last longer, have higher value and just work better than any other oil-based, synthetic material.
1. Adding Value Beyond Price
Our first principle is to add genuine value to materials. True value goes beyond merely competing on price. It's built upon the combination of material innovation, superior performance, raw material variety, and exceptional customer service.
2. Environmental Responsibility
The second principle is that no business has the right to pollute.Every company bears a responsibility to the environment. Therefore, the absolute highest priority across all our operations is the relentless reduction of waste, energy, water, chemistry , and our overall carbon footprint.
3. Improving Society
Our third principle is that the goal of business must be to improve society.Our actions and conduct are consistently measured against the highest ethical standards. We have an unwavering responsibility to employ best practices for the benefit of our employees, our local community, and the world we serve.
For years, Asiatan has optimized and innovated every step of its supply chain and production processes to achieve waste minimization across trimming, water consumption, chemical use, and time.
This comprehensive effort results in a leather made from optimized raw material and chemical use, which provides our factory partners with the world's most cuttable leather, reducing cutting waste by 33% compared to traditional leather making.
The result is Kind Leather!
Traceablity
Asiatan leather is 100% guaranteed to come from reputable and responsible sourcing. To that end, we and our suppliers work to ensure that our raw material can be traced all the way back to the farms where the animals were raised and those individual hides can be tracked all the way to the shoe factory.
Our strategic sourcing leverages cutting edge technology to ensure environmental and sustainable best practices.
- GPS tracking
- Blockchain traceability

Asiatan has spent years optimizing and innovating ways to minimize waste. The culmination of that effort is the Asiatan Kind Leather program. We have looked at ways throughout our supply chain and processes to minimize everything from trim, water, chemistry and time. The result is Kind Leather!
