Garrett Leather Adds Olive-Tanned, Climate Neutral Collection 'Cielo' to Product Line

With 'Cielo,' a New Level of Luxury Has Arrived
Garrett Leather, a renowned leader in the leather industry, proudly announces the launch of Cielo, a groundbreaking leather which sets a new benchmark in environmental responsibility, elegance and unmatched performance.
Cielo is olive tanned and 100% climate neutral, blending natural craftsmanship with ecological consciousness. Especially appealing to those looking for sustainable, responsibly sourced materials, this innovative leather is tanned using organic extracts derived from olive leaves, a by-product of the olive industry.
Garrett Leather worked with a sustainability consulting firm to evaluate the carbon footprint of Cielo. The independent consultant completed a thorough Life Cycle Analysis of Cielo. Garrett Leather then worked with a leading climate offset consultant in Europe to purchase and retire non-transferable Gold Standard Verified Emissions Reduction (VER) credits. The specific project we invested in built water purification systems that provide safe drinking water to underprivileged communities to completely offset the carbon emissions of Cielo production.
Furthermore, in the spirit of full transparency, Cielo achieved LBC Red List Free status on its Declare label. The durability and longevity of this high-quality leather minimizes the need for replacement, ensuring a beautiful product that is built to last. Olive tanned leather is biodegradable, allowing it to decompose naturally at the end of its life cycle, further reducing its environmental impact.
Cielo blends the best of both worlds—low environmental impact and high performance. What makes Cielo truly unique is its consistent grain for maximum cutting yields and exceptional resilience. All 20 Cielo colors are treated during the tanning process to meet FAA regulations and to pass the rigorous 60-second vertical burn test, without any additional treatment. Cielo also surpasses stringent durability test requirements and performance criteria specific to the private aviation industry. As a LeatherShield product, Cielo meets the demands of high-traffic areas, making it an excellent option for designers across multiple disciplines, including hospitality, corporate, residential, and luxury yacht interiors.
Harmonious and sophisticated, Cielo’s colors maintain a welcoming ambiance and leave a lasting impression. Perfect for an aviation interior, Cielo’s light hues help create an airy feel in a smaller space. Its deep neutrals foster a more grounded atmosphere while cool grays create a modern and streamlined environment. This thoughtful palette also serves well as a backdrop for warm accents and bold textures, allowing for more flexibility in style and décor.
As a direct reflection of Garrett Leather’s continued commitment to quality and performance, Cielo epitomizes the blending of style with ethical production. Cielo embodies a comprehensive approach to luxury that prioritizes environmental stewardship and responsible practices.
“At Garrett Leather, we continuously evolve to develop innovative products for our customers. Cielo is a direct result of collaborating with our loyal customers and working diligently with our partner tanneries to bring exceptionally crafted leather to designers worldwide. This initiative was especially rewarding knowing the long-term positive impact that this collection will have. By specifying Cielo for your projects, you are making a sustainable choice for your client while also contributing to help those in need.” said Roberta Sand, Vice President of Marketing at Garrett Leather.
All 20 colors of Cielo are available for immediate shipment.
