Le cuir utilisé pour nos sacs et chaussures provient de vaches élevées de manière normale et élevées vivantes. Les vaches sont abattues pour leur viande et la peau est un sous-produit vendu en tant que cuir brut. Pour les produits HILDEBRAND, nous travaillons avec des tanneries auditées et conformes à la réglementation REACH, qui traite de la production et de l'utilisation des substances chimiques ainsi que de leur impact potentiel sur la santé humaine et l'environnement. Les tanneries disposent d'un système de gestion des déchets et de recyclage. Toutes les tanneries que nous utilisons sont membres du Leather Working Group (LWG) avec une certification OR ou ARGENT. Nous avons choisi de privilégier le tannage végétal pour nos produits.

Nylon is the name of a family of synthetic polymers that are commonly used to make a variety of different types of apparel and consumer goods. Unlike other organic or semi-synthetic fibers, nylon fibers are entirely synthetic, which means that they have no basis in organic material. Recycled nylon is produced from post-industrial waste or from discarded nylon-based products. In addition to their environmental friendliness, the recycled nylon fibers are both strong, light and durable. Nylon fabrics have low resistance to sunlight and tend to weaken and may become discolored on direct exposure to it. For drying purposes, it is better to avoid sunlight and dry it in the shade. Nylon is also heat sensitive, and thus high temperatures may cause it to shrink, loosen, or discolor. Thus, exposing the fabric to high temperatures should be avoided.Usually, dirt does not cling to nylon fabrics, thus making it easy to clean it. However, in cases of severe dirt and soil removal, a pretreatment would be required. That is, prepare a thick paste of detergent and water and apply it on the soiled areas using a soft brush. Then, soak it for about 10-15 minutes in detergent water. You can then proceed with the normal washing procedure.
