Do you remember that feeling when you discover secret treasures at the attic of your grandmother’s house? Well, that is how we felt when we found stacks with leftover leather in a Nepalese leather factory. No one else was interested in using them, so we decided to sew all these small pieces together and made them into fashionable bags and belts.

Sorry Non-Dutchies, we are searching for someone who speaks the same native language. So this job opportunity is written in Dutch.

Yes, it’s really true: F-I-S-H leather. It’s made of organic salmon skin, formerly a waste product of fish canneries. The skin retains its pigmentation and characteristic texture, while it’s tanned and dyed with an eco-friendly process. The production of this salmon skin is chrome-free, relying instead on vegetable tanning.

This material is made of wood pulp derived from sustainably managed forests. It has the look and feel of conventional silk, but it isn’t as fragile. You can even ride your bicycle in it. As we are a Dutch brand, you will probably understand that’s very good news for us!

This eye-catching print was especially designed for studio JUX by the wonderful Hannah Bonjer of design studio HNNH. It’s inspired by the traditional Nepali Dhaka print. Both print and the organic cotton are GOTS certified. Since the garment is made in our own factory, it is delivered with a ‘handshake’ from our own Nepali tailors. Thank you Hannah and thank you tailors!

A part of our collection is made in our own factory in Nepal. These items have a number that corresponds to the tailor who made it. You can meet your Nepalese tailor at studiojux.com/handshake.

Besides Nepal, we also produce in Portugal and China. We think these tailors are rockstars too, that’s why we came up with new labelling. The labels are made from post-consumer waste recycled polyester. Did you also notice the grey studio JUX logo that’s printed on the labels? Yep, that’s new too!
