Watson & Wolfe Sustainability Actions

Switched to vegan materials

What started as a research session on leather production quickly became a deep dive into an industry rife with pollution, cruelty, and exploitation. The vision for Watson & Wolfe changed overnight. Leather was out and was quickly followed by a vegan lifestyle and a journey to build an ethical and sustainable brand.

Uses corn-based vegan leather

Our primary material is made using non-food-grade corn. It delivers the look and feel of premium leather while generating 30% less environmental impact compared to other vegan leathers.

Sources recycled linings

We now source our rPET linings from Turkiye, a move that has dramatically reduced our transport emissions. These linings are created from 100% recycled plastic bottles and offer exceptional durability.

Uses FSC-certified cork

We use FSC-certified cork from Portugal for selected styles. This material is not only lightweight and water-resistant but harvested in a way that allows the tree to regenerate.

Works with artisan factories

We work exclusively with small, artisan factories in Portugal and Turkiye, longstanding partners to European brands, now embracing the future of ethical manufacturing. Each of our partner factories maintains ethical working conditions, implements fair pay and safe environments, uses green energy and minimises water use, and recycles production waste and manages air quality responsibly.

Uses plastic-free packaging

Every Watson & Wolfe order arrives in entirely plastic-free, recyclable packaging. Our gift boxes are crafted from 100% collected waste paper and contain recycled fibre particles. The card stock is biodegradable, FSC certified, and produced using a chlorine-free process. Even the print is eco-conscious, using vegetable-based inks.
