cyco.cyco has been working with rescued leather as its main material since the beginning. However we are not only interested with the durability and tactility, but the economics and politics behind the material. Leather is not only a sheet material that only occupies the flat surface, but it’s also being processed vertically. The current economical structure only capitalised on the top layer and sees the rest of the off cuts and skived layers as waste. The tanning process of leather has long been known for its water intensive operation, when factories and corporates discards scrap leathers, the resources used for tanning becomes redundant. We want to challenge the status quo and we believe the production of fashion accessories and lifestyle items can go beyond creating pollution, but become a response to it. cyco.cyco Essentials is a line of upcycled leather products designed with the thoughts of contemporary urban lifestyle in mind. As our lives slowly adapt to the new norm sculpted by a new understand of time and space, perhaps cyco.cyco Essentials could become a part of your journey, assisting you on your everyday life, with style.
