We believe in transparency that goes beyond words—it's about showcasing the heartbeat of our supply chain. Our commitment to traceability isn't just a promise; it's a testament to our values of integrity, sustainability, and social responsibility.

WE BELIEVE THAT DESIGN, AT ITS BEST, CAN REGENERATE BOTH THE LAND, PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES WHO ARE A PART OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN.

Every year in the United States, we discard more than 5.5 million cattle hides. While many might think leather production is the primary reason for raising cattle, the reality is starkly different. Leather exists as a byproduct of the meat industry—cattle are not raised for their hides alone. There's simply no economic sense in it. When these hides aren't transformed into leather, they're either sent to landfills or incinerated, releasing greenhouse gases and wasting valuable natural resources.

The environmental impact is devastating:

• Those 5.5 million wasted hides could make approximately 110 million footballs according to the Leather and Hide Council of America
• Current estimates suggest up to 40% of hides produced globally each year are treated as waste rather than being utilized as a valuable resource
• Most commercially available leather can be traced to Brazilian sources contributing to rainforest deforestation rather than supporting responsible domestic production

Meanwhile, the fashion industry creates unprecedented waste and resource depletion. Every second, the equivalent of a garbage truck load of clothes is burned or buried in landfills. This continuous cycle of production and disposal is depleting resources and harming our environment at an alarming rate.

We're not just making luxury leather goods—we're revolutionizing the entire leather supply chain from the ground up.

Since 2021, Range Revolution has been building what didn't exist before: a traceable, transparent system that sources hides directly from American ranches practicing regenerative agriculture. 

These are the same hides that would otherwise end up in landfills. Instead of traveling 20,000 miles like conventional leather supply chains, our materials travel only about 2,500 miles, dramatically reducing transportation emissions. Our approach is radical in its simplicity:

1. Source locally, think globally: We rescue American cattle hides from the waste stream and transform them into luxury goods, keeping these valuable natural fibers in circulation.
2. Commit to radical transparency: Our supply chain transparency allows for complete traceability of each hide from the exact ranch it came from to the finished product in your hands.
3. Prioritize regenerative production: Every hide we use comes from ranches that are actively healing the land through holistic management practices.

Our partner ranches don't just practice sustainable farming—they're actively regenerating the land. Each ranch monitors their lands using Savory Institute's Ecological Outcome Verification™ (EOV™), providing empirical evidence of improvements to soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem function.

To earn this verification, ranches undergo annual visits from regional EOV Verifiers who collect data on the farm's performance in the context of its ecoregion. This protocol was developed with soil scientists, ecologists, and regenerative land managers from around the world to ensure legitimate ecological improvement.

Through regenerative ranching practices like managed grazing, these ranchers:

• Improve soil health and increase biodiversity
• Enhance water holding capacity in soil
• Sequester more carbon on rangelands
• Create resilient, drought-resistant landscapes
• Support wildlife and plant diversity

By choosing to work exclusively with these ranchers, we're helping to expand regenerative agriculture across America's rangelands—ecosystems that make up 54% of Earth's land mass and hold tremendous potential for carbon sequestration.

Once sourced, our hides are vegetable tanned at Leather Working Group-approved gold-rated tanneries in the United States. This environmentally responsible tanning process avoids the harsh chemicals used in conventional leather production.

Unlike conventional leather supply chains where traceability is often limited, we maintain complete physical and documented traceability throughout our process—from the ranch to the finished product. We work exclusively with production partners who share our commitment to:

• Fair wages and ethical working conditions
• Reduced environmental impact
• Zero waste practices whenever possible
• Skilled craftsmanship and quality

Every Range Revolution piece is handcrafted in Los Angeles and Leon, MX by skilled artisans who are paid living wages in caring conditions. We embrace natural character rather than hiding it—you'll see the marks that show this is real leather from real animals on real working landscapes.

Range Revolution was founded by Cate Havstad-Casad, a designer, entrepreneur, and first-generation regenerative rancher who recognized the disconnect between our food systems and our fashion systems.

Our team is small but mighty—composed of passionate individuals who believe in the power of business to heal rather than harm. We're farmers, designers, leather specialists, and environmental advocates working together to revolutionize an industry.

We partner directly with:

• Regenerative ranchers across the United States
• Ecological monitoring specialists
• Leather Working Group-certified tanneries
• Skilled artisans and craftspeople
• Conscious retailers and brand collaborators

Together, we're building a community dedicated to transparency, traceability, and regeneration.
