Founded in 2012, Aquatic Leather has set out with the goal of introducing an entirely new, eco-friendly textile to the world. We are currently the largest-capacity creator of fish skin leather in the world, offering over 300 species of salt- water fish in a multitude of finishes and colors. We are also proud to say we are 100% Made in the U.S.A.
Aquatic Leather textiles are created with the lowest possible impact to our planet, while maintaining the highest quality our customers expect. By only using open water farm raised fish, originally grown and harvested for the food industry, we guarantee that our product has nearly zero impact on the world’s oceans, as well as an extremely positive impact on our precious lands. Most landfills in the United States, especially along the coast line, maintain 40% of their capacity with fish waste. Thanks to our reincarnation efforts, we intend to decrease the amount of fish waste destroying our planet, by removing the waste all together. For this reason, we adhere to strict guidelines for creating our skins, which includes a seasonal timetable for the availability of certain species. Our product is a one-of-a-kind textile that is a naturally water resistant, chemical- free, and allergen-free, allowing the skins to stand up to the natural wears and tears of life. The quality and durability of our fish leather textile matches up to that of Corinthian cowhide, and will outperform cowhide in its sustainability and durability, while imparting its natural unique beauty to any project you may have in mind.
