  • To minimise waste, it limits its production runs.
  • It produces long-lasting products.
  • It uses tanneries that are certified gold by the Leather Working Group.

Brands’ animal welfare policies and, where applicable, how well they trace their animal-derived products are the focus of our “Animals” rating. Here we rate Decadent “It’s a Start”. These are a few factors influencing its score:
