Gone Today, Rare Forever: The Beauty of Limited-Edition Leather

If you’ve ever browsed our collection and noticed that your favorite bag or small leather good is out of stock in a certain color, we want to let you in on the reason and why it’s actually something to celebrate.

At Deux Mains, we are deeply committed to sustainability at every level of our business. One of the ways we live out that commitment is by sourcing overrun leather for our bags and accessories. Instead of purchasing newly manufactured leather, we use high-quality surplus hides that would otherwise go to waste. This helps us reduce the demand for new production, lower our environmental impact, and make the most of resources that already exist.

But there’s a trade-off: these leather overruns come in limited quantities. Once a particular color or texture is gone, it may not be available again, or at least not in the same exact shade. That means every Deux Mains piece made from overrun leather is truly limited-edition and uniquely yours.

We know it can be disappointing when a color you love isn’t available, but this conscious choice is a vital part of how we operate. It allows us to stay aligned with our sustainability goals while ensuring we create beautiful, ethical products that don’t contribute to overproduction or landfill waste.

By choosing Deux Mains, you’re not only supporting fair wages and safe working conditions for our Haitian artisans, you’re also helping redefine what fashion can look like when it’s created with intention. We’re proud that our products don’t just look good; they do good.

So if you fall in love with a color, don’t wait too long! And if it’s gone, trust that something just as beautiful is on the way. Sustainability may mean less predictability, but it also means more purpose.

Thank you for embracing slow fashion with us.

With gratitude,
The Deux Mains Team
