Gowma: Luxury Non Leather Goods With A Heart

Did you know that a billion animals are slaughtered every year for leather and hide? All kinds of animals, from cows, sheep, goats, lambs and pigs to alligators and crocodiles, are farmed and killed for their skin. Other species, like zebras, bison, ostriches and snakes, are hunted down and killed for the same reason.

Leather is also one of the most polluting industries in the world, causing grave damage to the environment and the people who work in tanneries.

Leather has long been associated with “luxury” and high-end fashion, which is where the problem begins. But that shouldn’t be the case, when the industry inflicts so much pain, cruelty and damage behind closed doors. 

The good news is, there are brands out there trying to change this perception and put an end to cruelty for good – like Gowma.
