Leather is a beautiful product. The natural attractiveness of strength makes it an exceptional material that can outlast most synthetic materials used to make things like bags, clothes, etc. It is a product of merit on its own. Above and beyond though, leather is a product that improves the world in a vast number of ways. The two we’re going to focus on in this article is the U.S. economy and farmers.

First off let’s say, not every brand of leather supports the United States economy. This is one attribute that makes Copper River Bag Co. a unique brand. All of its leather and craftsmanship is done right here in the United States. All of the money that is used to build our workshops, pay our artisans and create our exceptional leather flows back into the U.S. economy. This form of stimulation is the type you see when production of an item is made in its native land. In turn when customers purchase their bags, it stimulates the economy around them. All in all it’s a win, win situation.

It goes beyond just stimulation of the U.S. economy, but it support United States standard of operations in business. When you buy American you support labor rights, the environment, manufacturing standards and generally a better way of doing things. No one wins by allowing sweat shops become a global standard, and this is a way to fight back- in style!

The other thing many people don’t know about leather is that it actually helps out farmers. Farmers actually get paid for the leather hide of their cows. We all know that the world eats enough cow meat to supply plenty of leather, but it is great that farmers get paid to provide the material. Basically by buying leather, you are supporting farmers who are often struggling to make it. What is interesting is that often farmers make a lot more off of the hide of the cow then they ever made off of the meat!

These two reasons alone should be enough to make one buy leather products if you ask us! Why not stimulate the economy AND support farmers by purchasing a luxury product?
