Conserving the Land

For Mott, conservation isn’t a slogan — it’s a way of life. Years in the bush taught him how delicate the balance of nature really is. That same respect guides every choice he makes at the workbench.

We keep our process small, intentional, and rooted in respect for the land. Every hide is sourced responsibly through local farmers and tanneries, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. Instead of mass production, we craft in small batches — pieces that are made to last, so they don’t end up discarded and forgotten.

Conservation here isn’t about doing more — it’s about doing better. By choosing durability over excess and honoring the resources the land provides, Mott’s Leatherworks helps keep Botswana’s story alive for generations to come.
