At Salvatore Santoro, sustainability is an integral part of the brand's DNA. Our leather garments are made from materials that are a byproduct of the food industry, avoiding farms used solely for leather. A conscious choice that combines ethical fashion , respect for animals, and the excellence of Italian craftsmanship .
The collections are created in our artisan workshops in Naples , where tradition and experimentation coexist. Our production philosophy is based on limited-edition collections to reduce waste and emissions, while ensuring uniqueness and superior quality.
- Made to order , no surpluses.
- Conscious use of resources , with optimised energy consumption.
- Made in Italy quality , from hand cutting to finishing.
- Innovation in treatments and textures , season after season.
The selected leathers come from the best Italian tanning districts , internationally recognized for their excellence. We collaborate exclusively with tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) , which guarantee sustainable and traceable processes:
- Responsible management of water and waste,
- Reducing energy impact,
- Transparency along the production chain.
This is how we combine the Italian tanning tradition with a contemporary vision of sustainable fashion .
Our Animal Welfare Policy is based on the five universal freedoms that protect animals:
- Freedom from hunger and thirst,
- Freedom from discomfort,
- Freedom from pain or disease,
- Freedom to express natural behaviors,
- Freedom from fear and stress.
We require our suppliers to adhere to rigorous standards, provide certification of origin, and comply with international regulations, including the CITES convention for protected species. This way, aesthetics and artisanal luxury are combined with responsibility and respect.
