·Made by ODAJE ( ex M.Moustache) in France.

Longevity & Care

·Leather — Condition every 3-6 months to prevent drying and cracking. Avoid prolonged water exposure. Store in a breathable bag, never plastic.

·⚠ Avoid "bonded leather" or "genuine leather" — these are the lowest grades. Bonded leather is essentially glued scraps that peel and flake within 1-2 years. Look for "full-grain" or "top-grain" for real longevity.

·Recycled — Follow care label — varies by base material.

Sustainability

·Recycled — Diverts waste from landfills and oceans. Recycled polyester from plastic bottles reduces petroleum dependency by up to 75%.

Cost Per Use

·Leather — A well-made leather bag or boot can last 10-20 years, making the cost per year very low compared to replacing synthetic alternatives every 1-2 years.
·Recycled — Often priced comparably to virgin materials. You get the same performance while diverting waste.
·Priced around $275 (midpoint of $150–$400 for Footwear). At ~15 uses/month, this hits the $1-per-use "worth it" mark in 1.5 years — and falls to roughly 31¢ per use across a 5-year lifespan.
