EMBROIDERY & BEYOND
We partner with an embroidery master house that has redefined tradition — founding a first-of-its-kind school and nonprofit to empower women from low-income communities with world-class training in hand embroidery and craftsmanship.
In a field long dominated by men, these women are rewriting the rules. Through the art of needle and thread, they expand their potential, enrich their communities, and carry forward a legacy where beauty and opportunity are woven together.
HANDBAG MAKER
Family-owned and operated for over 40 years, our partner is one of the last great leather goods factories still thriving in the heart of New York City’s Garment District.
MINDFUL LEATHER
Our leather is sourced from tanneries belonging to the Genuine Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium in Italy, where full vegetable tanning is practiced — a chrome-free, gold-rated LWG process rooted in nature. Vegetable tanning is an ancient art that uses natural extracts from bark and leaves, creating leathers that are rich in character and return to nature in full circularity. By working only with by-product hides from the food industry, waste is transformed into craft, preventing materials that could take up to a century to biodegrade from being discarded.
ECO COTTON TWILL
Our protective dust bags are crafted from a thoughtful blend: 65% recycled polyester and 35% organic cotton. The recycled fibers are sourced from post-consumer water and soda bottles, giving new life to waste that would otherwise fill landfills. The organic cotton is grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals, preserving both soil health and community well-being.
Sustainable in origin yet uncompromising in quality, this fabric safeguards each piece while reflecting our commitment to care.
GENERATION STATION
Our inner box materials are crafted from Remake, an Italian paper innovatively composed of discarded leather residues and 40% post-consumer recycled fibers — produced entirely with green energy; a revolutionary example of upcycling.
To fine print on this paper, we’ve partnered with a local Ohio stationer who has been in continuous operation since 1891. The outer packaging is FSC-certified paper.
At Guillozet Way, sustainability is a journey — one we are committed to deepening with every step. We believe progress begins with questions, with the willingness to look closer and imagine better.
As Einstein wrote, “The important thing is not to stop questioning; never lose a holy curiosity.” It is in this spirit of wonder and responsibility that we seek new ways forward.
