Earth Day In Ubrique
Earth Day in our proprietary atelier looks exactly like any other day. For STOW, responsibility isn't a headline; it is how we work every day of the year.
Our approach is anchored in a deliberate decision: to only ever make 5,000 bags a year. Staying small isn't a limitation; it is the necessary means required to protect what matters:
-
The People: We work with a small team of artisans in Ubrique, Spain. By rejecting mass-market quotas, we ensure the pace of production is dictated by the craft, not a deadline.
-
The Craft: We prioritise technical precision over speed. This deliberate pace allows for the care required to create pieces that will endure for years, not seasons.
-
Our Footprint: We operate with a zero-waste objective. Since 2024, we have eliminated all plastic reinforcements, instead repurposing our own leather offcuts to provide internal structure.
These aren't temporary initiatives; they are our Be Better pledges. A permanent commitment to premium, responsible materials, fair pricing, and a total refusal to participate in overproduction or seasonal sales.
