At Lutchford’s, we believe in creating accessories that look great, last longer, and leave a lighter footprint on the planet. That’s why every piece we make uses a small selection of premium, eco-conscious materials: Biothane, Solid Brass, Stainless Steel and Antique Brass (zinc die-cast).
Biothane is an innovative material, perfect for use in collars and leads. It’s waterproof, vegan, lightweight yet incredibly durable – a superior alternative to traditional leather.
Unlike animal leather, Biothane production emits far less CO2, and requires a fraction of the water used in cattle farming and tanning. A cruelty-free, low-impact material that performs beautifully.
Brass is one of the most sustainable metals on Earth. It can be recycled endlessly without losing its strength or quality, reducing the need for new raw materials and cutting down on energy-intensive mining. This closed-loop recyclability makes brass both eco-friendly and enduring – a perfect match for our commitment to quality.
Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable, corrosion resistant, and built to stand the test of time. Even after countless recycling cycles, it retains its integrity and shine. Its long lifespan and low maintenance make it one of the most sustainable metals available, ensuring our hardware stays strong for years, not seasons.
Our Antique Brass pieces combine sustainability with timeless style. Zinc is a highly recyclable material, and the die-casting process minimises waste by reusing any excess metal. The result is a tough, sustainable, and elegant finish that gives every piece a refined, antique look while keeping environmental impact low.
Our Nickel pieces combine sustainability with contemporary appeal. Zinc is a highly recyclable material, and the die-casting process minimises waste by reusing any excess metal. The nickel finish enhances durability and corrosion resistance, extending product life. The result is a strong, sustainable, and sleek finish that delivers a clean, modern look with a low environmental impact.
Sustainability means more than just using eco-friendly materials, it means designing products that endure. Our combination of Biothane, Solid Brass, Stainless Steel, and zinc die-cast Antique Brass ensures every accessory is hard-wearing, long-lasting, and built to reduce waste.
Fewer replacements mean fewer resources consumed – a win for you, your pet, and the planet.
