Manifesto
IDAS’ Origin and Ethos:
Birthed from the very act of introspective questioning;
Surrounded by nothing but his own values, desires, aspirations, all in their rawest forms;
Authenticity-to-self lays the very foundation of IDAS.
Introspective Mission:
We act as a reminder, a redirection of said user's attention to themselves. Offering what we can, we hope to help people embrace their personal mythologies and aid them in their own process of evolution.
An effort to preserve craftsmanship.
A renaissance revival.
Idealised Domain:
By paying self and mutual respect and by abiding by the ethical and moral values of all those who participate, IDAS will ultimately forge a community of like-minded people and build a lexicon of shared experiences.
Sustainability
At IDAS, the horse leathers we use are only derived from those who pass naturally of age.
With the help of LEDER FIELDER, we are able to work with articles such as “Blattwerk” for our footwear uppers, made by Heller Leder (known for its partnership with PORSCHE).
They speicalise in their “Blattwerk” tanning process, which utilises a natural tanning agent called oleuropein, found in the olive leaves left from each year’s olive harvest.
There are absolutely no dyes used in the finishing of olive leaf-tanned leathers. They are left in their natural, open-pored state, and some have added protection by using real beeswax.
In fact they are the first tannery in the world to receive the Blue Angel Eco-Label for its entire upholstery leather collection, and first tannery in Europe to achieve GOLD status from the Leather Working Group audit.
