Romp is the first organic leather company certified by the Soil Association in the UK.
More importantly, they are an ethical leather fashion company blazing new ground
in the organic marketplace through a 100% traceability process, which allows the
consumer to see the source for all the components that go into their couture
fashion. So, for example, you could trace the source of the leather (farm, abattoir,
tanning), its dye, the thread and zipper on a handbag and ensure that at each step
of the way, ethical and organic products and processes were being used. Romp will
debut its fashion line in New York City on September 18-20 at The Train.
