About Macuto

Who are we?

Originally from León Gto, we are committed to creating valuable handmade items with materials rescued from the leather and footwear industry. Macuto offers an alternative of products made with awareness of the value of leather and seeking not to generate waste in its process.

Why do we do it?

Nowadays the market is full of leather goods, but few are made with conscience.

Leather waste is a growing problem for the fashion industry as it is a very noble and extremely durable material, and although today there are alternatives that imitate its characteristics either synthetically or naturally, none will ever match the beauty of natural leather. However, we must be aware of the excessive use that exists today in the industry as it is estimated that more than 800,000 tons of leather are discarded each year, which does not decompose, generating massive storage of it.

This is why Macuto seeks to rescue this waste and demonstrate how valuable and long-lasting articles can be achieved by being creative with their design. In this way, we also honor the lives of the animals that were sacrificed to create the leather.
