Mission Mercantile Sustainability Actions

Owns its supply chain

We are one of very few brands worldwide that own our supply chain 100%. We operate our two workshops, one near San Antonio, TX and our primary shop called Blue Artisan (located in Leon, MX) deep in the world-renowned old Mexico leather region.

Uses full-grain steerhides

We select the very best articles to handcraft our goods: leathers, textiles, lining, hardware and construction materials. We select only US full-grain steerhides that are dyed completely through. Based on the design / application, we’ll use vegetable, chrome or chrome / veg twice tanned leathers.

Makes products for longevity

Our exhaustive attention to detail and quality control means that every single stitch and hammer is carefully considered, utilizing only authentic materials, chosen with longevity in mind. This means any needed repairs can be made well into the future by experienced craftsmen.

Uses vegetable tanning

The genuine, highest quality vegetable tanning we apply to some of our full-grain leather additionally enhances its distinctive refinement over time. Utilizing the organic tannins found in plants, bark, and the like, the traditional craft of vegetable tanning — developed over thousands of years — affords rich natural colors and warm tones through a process that, even with today’s innovations, still demands exacting skill and extensive hours to render.

Gold Medallion rated tannery

Our tanner is Gold Medallion Rated by the Leather Working Group, an international organization whose mission is to promote sustainable and appropriate environmental stewardship practices within the leather industry.
