Kat van Duinen’s principle is to produce well-crafted luxury goods from ethically sourced leather, fur and alternate natural fibre textiles. Elegance and authenticity is the essence of the brand and this translates to the principles Kat van Duinen maintains throughout its manufacturing process.
Every skin used is legally and ethically sourced from authorised, regulated farms and breeders. Kat van Duinen is passionate about the care and respect given to specially-farmed animals.
The animals aren’t bred only for the skin the company uses but their meat, fur or feathers are also sold in order to ensure there is as minimal wastage as possible.
Kat van Duinen also ensures that all its suppliers are regularly inspected and legally required to provide various freedoms to their animals such as freedom from hunger, access to fresh water, full and healthy diet, an appropriate environment, a comfortable shelter, freedom from distress and fear and regulations to ensure minimal pain in death.
In addition, it’s worth noting that the better an animal is treated, holistically, the healthier its coat and skin will be and since Kat van Duinen only sources the highest-quality leather and skills, the poor treatment of animals is unacceptable. This is not only for the wellbeing of the animal but also to protect the quality of its skin.
Since its origin, Kat van Duinen has remained true to the principle of supporting and collaborating with local artisans in the industry ensures that its staff are paid fair living wages according to South African law. The company is meticulous in complying with South Africa’s labour laws too.
