Is salmon skin fashionable? With more and more companies are
taking ethical considerations with their products, it’s not surprising that entrepreneurs
are coming up with innovative products. Designers and brands are beginning to look towards alternative leather options that are byproducts of other industries. Salmon
processing plants discard millions of tons of salmon skin every year. Stiven Kerestegian, CEO of ES-Salmon Leather, began purchasing skins from those processing plants and believed that they could be re-purposed into something
aesthetically appealing, very resilient, and flexible. They have two different lines: one that uses natural plant extracts and oils for the
tanning process, and the other that unfortunately uses traditional methods such
as chromium. Their goal is to have a complete line that uses only eco-friendly
chemicals.
