We, at 8th House Reign, take materials and give them a new life...new purpose.
Sustainability
Full grain hide leather is a by-product of the meat industry. Instead of the skins going to the waste, they are sent to tanneries, treated, and sold as the leather you see in various industries. This leather is durable and long lasting. We use this leather to create our products. In addition, whenever possible, we purchase materials secondhand from other creatives as well as surplus materials from businesses such as Fabscrap. Because of this, some of our products are unique due to the purchase of limited availability materials. Some of our products may be one of its kind.
Production
Our products are handcrafted in Philadelphia, PA. As with any handcrafted product, every product is unique in its own way.
