FAQs
Why choose leather accessories?
Leather has been used for centuries because of its unmatched durability, timeless style and natural character. A high-quality leather belt or wallet can last over 10 years with basic care — much longer than synthetic alternatives. Over time, leather develops a beautiful patina, making each piece uniquely yours.
At Don Miller, we use genuine leather sourced for its strength, texture, and long-term performance — ideal for everyday use.
What makes leather better than PU, PVC, or "vegan leather"?
While PU (polyurethane) and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) are often marketed as “vegan leather,” they are essentially plastic-based materials made from petroleum and chemicals. In comparison, genuine leather is far more durable, softens and develops patina with age (instead of peeling and cracking) and is more biodegradable as it is less reliant on chemicals.
Are animals killed specifically for leather?
No. At Don Miller, we only use leather that is a by-product of the meat industry. That means the animals are not harmed for their hides. Instead, we give new life to a material that would otherwise go to waste, contributing to a more circular and responsible use of resources.
Is your leather eco-friendly?
We work with certified tanneries that follow environmentally responsible practices, including:
-
Chrome-free or low-impact vegetable tanning methods
-
Water treatment and waste management systems
-
Sourcing hides from responsible farms (meat industry by-product)
While no material is 100% impact-free, leather is one of the most sustainable materials when responsibly sourced and processed.

How do I care for my leather accessories?
Caring for leather is simple:
-
Keep dry: Avoid prolonged contact with water. If it gets wet, gently pat dry and let it air naturally.
-
Clean regularly: Use a soft cloth to wipe dust and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner.
-
Condition occasionally: Apply a leather conditioner every 3–6 months to keep it soft and moisturized.
-
Store smartly: Keep away from direct sunlight or heat. Store in a breathable cloth bag when not in use.
With a little care, your Don Miller accessory will age beautifully and last for years.
