Recycled Leather Promotional Products

48 products · minimums from 48 · 5–7 business days

Recycled or bonded leather is made from the offcuts and fibre left over from conventional leather production, reconstituted with a binder into sheet material. It uses a genuine waste stream from an industry that produces a lot of it, and it costs considerably less than full-grain hide.

Be clear about what it is not. Bonded leather is not full-grain leather and will not age the same way — it wears at the surface rather than developing patina, and its service life is shorter. As a journal cover or a card holder in a mid-priced gift it is a sound, honest choice; described as "leather" without qualification it is overselling.

Minimum around 48 pieces, production 5–7 business days. Rush production is available on many items in this range.

Frequently asked questions

What is recycled leather made from?
Offcuts and fibre left over from leather manufacture, reconstituted with a polyurethane or latex binder into a sheet material. It uses a real waste stream, and the binder means the finished material is a composite rather than hide.
How durable is recycled leather?
Less durable than full-grain leather. It wears at the surface rather than developing patina, so it suits journal covers, card holders and mid-priced accessories rather than items expected to last decades.
