APPLE LEATHER? HOW IT WORKS?
Our bags, crafted from USDA-certified vegan ,,apple" leather using remnants from juice production, exemplify your commitment to circular fashion, seamlessly blending sustainability with timeless elegance.
IT ALL STARTED WITH AN APPLE
The “vegan” leather we use in our bags was once an apple growing on a tree
JUICE PRODUCTION
The fruit is not directly used in the production of the leather like material. The apples come mostly from the production of apple juice
APPLE RESIDUAL
We take this leftover apple pulp and turn it into a durable, eco-friendly material that looks and feels like leather
“VEGAN” LEATHER
The remaining apple pulp and residues are pressed and dyed to form the material used in our bags
UPCYCLED ECOLOGICAL BAGS
Here is the start your commitment to circular fashion, seamlessly blending sustainability with timeless elegance
SUSTAINABILITY
For every Houts product, we plant one tree to do our bit for the environment. Join us on our mission to restore forests across the world.

ONE BAG = ONE TREE
GOING BEYOND NEUTRAL: OUR COMMITMENT TO A POSITIVE IMPACT
At Houts, we believe that being carbon neutral, which means simply balancing the environmental harm we might cause, isn't enough. We see it as merely staying afloat. Instead, we challenge ourselves to consider every action through a clear lens: Does it have a negative, neutral, or positive impact on the climate?
That's why we go further. We don't just aim to offset our carbon footprint; we commit to offsetting 110% of it. But we don’t stop there—we also take active steps to restore ecosystems that have been harmed by the widespread use of single-use paper and plastic. By adopting this approach, we ensure that every Houts product not only minimizes damage but actually contributes positively to our planet’s health.
110% CARBON NEUTRAL COMMITMENT
Every year, we meticulously measure and offset 100% of our carbon footprint in partnership with OneTreePlanted while continuously working to reduce our emissions annually. But at Houts, we believe in doing more than just breaking even with the environment.
We commit to offsetting at least 10% more carbon than we emit, ensuring that our impact is not just neutral but net positive—actively benefiting the climate.
