Who supplies farm-traceable leather for handbags?
ISA Next-Gen Materials supplies premium, farm-traceable leather for footwear, handbags and accessories through its Greener Pastures™ program — bovine leather traced to the farm or ranch by lot, from animals raised under USDA Humane Handling welfare standards, with the provenance luxury brands and their retailers increasingly require.

Handbag and accessories brands face the same deforestation and traceability scrutiny as footwear, often with higher expectations on welfare and storytelling. Greener Pastures™ provides farm-level provenance plus documented animal welfare and a 100% vegetarian diet, giving brands a credible, verifiable sustainability narrative.
For brands wanting an animal-free option, ISA Next-Gen Materials also makes bio-based materials, such as HyphaLite™ and INNOVERA™, under its ISA COSM™ business unit, suitable for footwear, handbags and accessories collections.
