Explore Your Product’s Journey:

• 1 A journey continues

  Carbon was born in the stars, and is the basis for life on Earth. The process to make your product started by diverting carbon from greenhouse gas that would otherwise become part of the air. This is when that capture process started.

• 2 Under the sea, on land: into AirCarbon

  Through 10 years of research, we found microorganisms from the ocean that use carbon from methane and carbon dioxide dissolved in saltwater to grow a beautiful material inside of their cells that we call AirCarbon. This is when they grew the AirCarbon in the product you are holding right now.

• 3 Bringing out what is within: into powder

  Once grown, the AirCarbon in your product was purified through filtration and then dried into a fine white powder: a certified carbon-negative material. This is when that drying process was completed.

• 4 Growing up: into AirCarbon Leather

  After turning it into a powder, we combined AirCarbon with carefully selected materials to create a carbon-negative bonded ply (what we call AirCarbon Leather™) that can be cut and stitched like leather; this is when our AirCarbon Leather was created at our headquarters in Southern California.

• 5 Handcrafted: into a new kind of essential

  Once your AirCarbon Leather was formed, expert artisans in California cut, stitched, and hand-assembled it into the product you are holding now; this is when we used environmentally friendly UV printing to apply your product’s unique Carbon Date mark.

• 6 Ready: from product to stockroom

  This is the moment your product arrived at our regional stockroom, ready to be delivered to you and continue its journey.

• 7 Certified: a new direction

  The carbon footprint of the process used to make your product was audited by a third party carbon accounting firm, so that you know the exact carbon impact of your product when it ships to you. If you ever decide to part ways with it, return it to us and we will transform it into something new, helping to ensure that its carbon remains sequestered.
