Real Leather. Stay Different.

Real Leather. Stay Different. celebrates the best of leather by featuring articles on sustainability, craft and style. In association with ARTSTHREAD, RLSD runs annual Student Design Competitions to discover young talent, to encourage innovation in the use of leather and to champion its durability and beauty through the creation of slow style rather than fast fashion. These competitions run internationally and in the UK, Italy, China, Nordic and Taiwan regions. RLSD is funded by the Leather & Hide Council of America to promote US leather worldwide in order to ensure that this age-old by-product is recycled efficiently instead of left as waste for landfill.
