Materials

• Leather
• Natural soles

Lemargo takes pride in its traditional handcraftsmanship production process. The shoes are made with high quality materials from select leathers. Unfortunately, there is no information available on the type of leather the company uses or its sourcing origins.
High-quality leather, while durable and often considered a premium material, presents a complex environmental impact; it is biodegradable due to its natural origins, but the process is slow and can be influenced by the tanning and finishing chemicals used. Although not easily recyclable in the conventional sense, high-quality leather can be repurposed or upcycled into new products, offering some potential for reducing waste.
