Be the sustainability you want to see in the world!
Sustainable fashion or ethical fashion is a phrase used in our time and different contexts; sometimes, it is unclear what exactly it refers to. For this reason, today, we want to bring up the definition that Treccani (an Italian encyclopedia) points out in his Lessico del XXI Secolo (2013):
“Ethical fashion is a sector of the fashion industry that aims to promote social development and environmental sustainability, without at the same time violating the rights and working conditions of the workforce employed.”
To social development and environmental sustainability, Piel de Metal aims to develop its sustainable business model, promoting responsible consumption in which it seeks to reduce the purchase of products based on their durability and quality.
As a responsible brand, we pay special attention to "time" and strategically bet on the value of durability, a characteristic found in genuine leather, its most excellent means of expression. Combining this with an innovative design where recycled material is incorporated, plus the details in the making of each of our products, make our bag's quality products that last a lifetime.
The time to stop choosing fast fashion has come. Opting for local brands that understand the importance of protecting nature and therefore develop sustainable production processes is imperative so that your daily actions have a less environmental impact.
Also, consider repairing, reusing, and renewing what you already have! - Let's make sustainability fashion forever -
In addition, it is no news to anyone that bags are popular among women, and many of us use more than one, but these accessories are not always made with sustainable material; on the contrary, there are a large number of these that are manufactured base of synthetic material = plastic, which means that for each of these, it will take the earth 200 years to decompose them - a terrible fact if we take into account that there are thousands of products that are manufactured daily with this material so harmful to our ecosystem.
Let´s Stop Contaminating the Planet!

Sustainability is much more than a fashion.
That is why we are proud to introduce you to Piel de Metal. This family business uses recycled metal in its designs and, together with leather, creates unique pieces like you, which are the perfect bet for lovers of comfort and luxury. Therefore, each Metal Skin bag is a silent cry from its wearer, who says:

Authenticity
WHAT DOES SUSTAINABILITY MEAN FOR OUR COMPANY?
For Piel de Metal, sustainability means designing with respect for the environment and authenticity. For this reason, its concept remains faithful to two central axes: quality and time. Because by creating high-quality pieces, we ensure that they are products that can be used for a long time.
It should be noted that Piel de Metal makes pieces made with neutral carbon leather as the main protagonist in its designs because this material is one of the few in the world, with time, becomes more beautiful; it is a resource that, due to the simple fact of being natural, it can return to nature through the biodegradation process, thus reducing our impact.
