@tanner.leatherstein: Luxury leather isn’t what you think… Most “luxury” bags? They’re using the same commodity leather — just with a better story. Meanwhile, millions of real hides are being thrown away. So I tested something: what happens when you treat leather like what it actually is today? This $10 leather might change how you see everything. #leather #luxurybags #fashiontruth #tiktokmademebuyit #sustainablefashion #fyp #tannerleatherstein
I'm a leather worker, i have the same philosophy, leather is not luxury but an every day natural material to be used.

I want leather basics. Leather jackets that last, leather belts, simple leather hobo bags, leather aprons, leather gloves, leather gardening gloves, etc

We need to bring back leather shoes and sneakers again. This plastic 💩 they sell today is atrocious.

Love the experiment. If you don't limit it to bags the potential is huge — aprons, tool rolls, welding gear, workwear patches, pet stuff. Full-grain buffalo at $10/sqm is functionally better than most synthetics in half these categories. But as you've shown, labour is the biggest barrier to making it a truly utilitarian material. You designed the simplest possible thing, minimal cutting, minimal joining, and it still landed at $18. That's the floor, not the ceiling. If there's a way to automate leather production for this stuff to reduce the cost, it'll be great to see the material being used more because it's affordable.

You should experiment with kids backpacks, gym bags, diaper bags, laptop bags, decorative pillows, decorative rugs, so may other uses than just handbags.

Honestly, I don’t get why Zara, H&M, and other fast fashion brands don’t use real leather when it’s so abundant. Instead, they use synthetic leather for jackets that end up peeling after two or three years.

It’s crazy that I can’t find leather shoes unless paying hundreds when clearly the material is abundant and inexpensive. Bring back leather shoes!!

could you make one a bit larger, maybe like this? the reusable bags are far more likely to be used if they were larger.

All I want to wear is leather shoes and it’s so hard to find any regular fully leather shoes. Everything is made of plastic now and it’s ridiculous.

so you're saying we have a surplus of leather which could be an affordable commodity but we've just been gaslighted to believe that its not? yeah sounds like the luxury industry to me
