About the Brand

• Fairtrade Practices

  • Our company ethos is "360 degrees of dignity," which means fairness and respect in all stakeholder interactions. We ensure honesty in our practices from design, to production, to marketing, so that our customers can count on us to deliver the best products with the greatest value.

    We founded Lidia May as Social Enterprise so that the business can build up disadvantaged communities. Currently we support a primary school for children in urban slums and job-skills programs for women, positively impacting over 1,000 children and 400 women to date.

• Thoughtful Design

  • Our roots are in the leather craft because of its longevity and versatility, allowing us to design timeless products for people of all walks of life.

    Our original designs have a foundation of good taste and good materials. We believe in designs that celebrate human cultures across time. Therefore, we actively preserve traditional fashion crafts, and explore new ways of fashion expression.

• 100% Natural Leather

  • We use 100% natural full grain leathers, that’s the most expensive and durable part of cow hides.

    Our leathers are tanned using vegetable tannins, natural wax and dyes, which adds strengths and luster to the leather and allows it to age beautifully.

    Our pieces are crafted in small batches by local craftsmen trained in the European Leather Craft tradition. We work on the ground in Bangladesh to promote sustainable practices in the leather industry.
