Fair Trade & Ethical Practices
Ethics Are Non-Negotiable
Fair Trade. Fair Practices. Always.
At Distinct, quality doesn’t start with leather — it starts with people.
We believe that true craftsmanship only thrives when the hands behind it are respected, empowered, and treated fairly. That’s why every product we make comes from Fair Trade–certified and ethically approved environments.
This isn’t a marketing angle. It’s who we are.
Rooted in Respect
We work exclusively with partners who meet rigorous social and environmental standards. No exploitation. No shortcuts. No grey areas.
From wages to working conditions, we ensure that everyone in our supply chain is treated with dignity. Our factories are independently audited, fair trade–compliant, and transparent in their practices.
Because behind every bag is a human story — and we make sure it’s a story worth telling.
Built into Our DNA
We don’t believe in doing the bare minimum. Ethical sourcing is a core value, not an afterthought.
Whether it's the leather we choose, the hardware we source, or the people we work with — fairness is fundamental.
It’s not about trends. It’s about timeless values.
The Distinct Standard
We hold ourselves — and our partners — to the highest standard. If a factory isn’t Fair Trade–approved, we won’t work with them. If a process compromises ethics, we change it.
No compromises. No exceptions. That’s what being Distinct means.



CRAFTED WITH INTENTION. CARRIED WITH PURPOSE.
