Natural Materials
LINDQUIST is committed to using only the highest quality natural materials, selecting vegetable-tanned leather processed exclusively with natural tannins to avoid harmful chemicals like chrome. This approach ensures that each piece not only supports environmental health but also ages beautifully over time. The brand further prioritizes non-toxic production by relying solely on plant-based dyes and VOC-free adhesives, creating finishes that are safe for both the wearer and the planet.
Local Ethical Production
Every LINDQUIST bag is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted entirely in-house at their Rhode Island studio, allowing complete control over quality and sustainable practices. Creating their product in-house reduces the pollution and waste that often accrues as a result of transportation-related processes, while also helping support and stimulate local craftsmanship here in the USA.
Low Waste
This brand produces in small batches to avoid overproduction and waste, ensuring that their pieces find homes in closets rather than landfills. Especially precise pattern-making and material usage also ensure that each leather hide is utilized to its maximum potential, minimizing scraps and waste that could occur throughout the production process.
