Embracing Sustainability: The Art of Handcrafted Leather Goods
Gift-giving is a meaningful way to show care for our loved ones, and choosing sustainable gifts can add an extra dimension of thoughtfulness while supporting our planet. Every occasion—whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or holiday—offers a chance to make choices that uplift both the recipient and the environment.
Why Choose Sustainable Gifts? Why choose FloWs?
Even though Leather can be a controversial subject, the truth is that leather is a sustainable material generated from the meat industry, therefore instead of ending up in the landfill, the leather can be used, and has been used for thousands of years, for creating long lasting products.
Opting for sustainable gifts is essential for minimizing our environmental impact. Traditional gifts often come with excessive packaging, harmful manufacturing processes, and limited longevity. On the other hand, sustainable options prioritize ethical practices, which can lead to waste reduction. Plus, choosing local artisans can contribute to the economy while promoting eco-friendly methods.
Sustainable gifts have a special allure. They might be handmade, locally sourced, or bought from companies with solid ethical values, offering a personal touch to every event.
We save and reuse all our leather scraps, turning each small piece into new items, making sure nothing is wasted.
Handmade Items
Handmade, or handcrafted leather goods gifts, have a personal touch. They can be charming and unique, offering a wonderful alternative to mass-produced items.
With our personalization service, you can add your loved one's initials to a product, making it even more special and unique.
With Veg Tanned Leather as our primary choice for creating exceptional leather goods, all products are designed and handcrafted by Flo.
Creating a Lasting Impact
In a world where buying stuff can sometimes overshadow real thoughtfulness, choosing sustainable gifts lets us make a positive impact. Whether it's unique handmade items, shared experiences, or eco-friendly picks, every occasion is a great opportunity to show some love for our planet.

At FloWs, we create all our products with your needs as our focus.
Our leather products are crafted for durability, which is why we offer a Maintenance Service for certain items to extend their lifespan.
When you're planning your next celebration, keep in mind that eco-friendly gifts not only make giving more joyful but also show you care about our planet. Next time you're getting ready for a special event, consider how your choices can benefit both the person you're gifting and the environment.
Now, let's get a little deeper and share a bit about my story and the reason of starting this brand.
My interest in leather and leathercrafting began a few years ago, more precisely 5 years ago, when I started working at my current job.
Initially, my position in the company was as a warehouse operator, brought in to assist during a busy period then moved up as a team leader and occasionally got involved in the process of designing and developing new products. It was during this time that I discovered the beauty of leather. I advanced to become a supervisor and eventually a Production Manager, which is my current role within the company, and still part of the Development Section.

I started the journey of creating my own brand to prove to myself that I am capable, ambitious, and resilient, aiming to conquer the self-doubt that has been with me all my life. I wanted the freedom to innovate and grow, at my own peace, embracing the possibility of mistakes and learning from them.
I am not only striving to build a brand that stands out, but also to create a sustainable future that effectively meets the needs of its consumers.
I plan to write regular blog posts about the brand and its journey to keep you informed and involved in its growth.
Together, let’s transform each celebration into an opportunity to promote sustainability, one thoughtful gift at a time!
