All of our leather is a byproduct of the food industry, ethically sourced and traceable. We use only the highest quality leather to ensure the greatest longevity. When possible, we repurpose leather, from our own past seasons projects and vintage when we can find well maintained vintage leather. Our aim is to be as close to zero waste as possible. We partner with other designers to give our smaller leather pieces to be used in their own projects. If you need leather scraps, please email us at info@jjalcaldenyc.com and let us know!

Our clothing is made from a combination of linen, cotton, deadstock and often upcycled fabrics. Each piece will have a detailed description of the materials sourced.

Leather Care

Don’t deny future generations vintage leather! Leather can last a lifetime and beyond, but that entirely depends on how well maintained it is. Part of slow fashion is taking care of things we already have, extending their lives and passing them on. Conditioning your leather every few months is a great way to maintain your leather and allow it age beautifully. Below are some of the benefits of leather conditioner:

Revive: Bring new life into your favorite vintage leather pieces and make them last even longer.
Extend: Taking care of your leather goods will prolong the life, suppleness, and beauty of your leather for a lifetime and beyond.
Protect: The beeswax will help protect your boots from both water and salt. It will also protect your leather from coffee spills which seem to happen no matter how careful we are.
Connect: When we take care of the objects in our lives, we infuse them meaning, our own stories and love.
