Locally sourced sustainable leather goods.
Impact
ENVIRONMENT
We carefully consider the environment in all phases of the leather goods supply chain process. All of our leathers are sourced locally in Calgary, Alberta and we use Eco-Flo water stains to ethically add vibrant colour.
Our philosophy is every part of the hide is valuable and should be used to create meaningful artefacts. Our remnants are re-worked into fashionable accoutrements, millinery and various products for ever day use. Small off-cuts are donated to budding leathersmiths in the local Calgary area to help support the longevity of this specialised craft.

CHARITIES WE SUPPORT
Every year, we are proud to work with dozens of Canadian and US charities and not-for-profit organizations. The essence of our service is to drive brand interactivity among event attendees and generate conversations about your cause.
Lethrbar provides a special opportunity to bring your message and cause to life right in the hands of your patrons. After your event, our customized leather artifacts will act as mini message boards for your guests to keep. We believe that a successful activation does not stop when the event ends.
Together with our clients and their event attendees, Lethrbar has generated thousands of dollars for charities through our customized onsite experiences.
