STORIES
A story of family and passion
With more than 40 years of family expertise developed with the biggest luxury brands, it was only natural that Johannes and his father created the ILDA'S brand.
After having worked for others for a long time, it seemed obvious to them to continue this skin recycling project, essential for ecology and meaningful.
Reinventing sheepskin
We want to redefine the traditional raw material of sheepskin by offering a range of modern, timeless and elegant accessories.
Our mission is to create recycled sheepskin pieces for the whole family.
With ILDA'S, you don't just acquire an accessory: you join a community and become the guardian of an exceptional piece, designed to enhance your everyday life.
We collect materials discarded due to minor defects by major brands and give them a second life. Each piece is optimized to minimize waste and create products that will last a lifetime.
Unique skins, exceptional pieces
Leather is one of the oldest recycled materials: a durable and noble material. The hides come exclusively from the food industry—no animals are raised or slaughtered for their skins.
At ILDA'S, we recycle this food waste according to a circular economy principle: without our intervention, it would be destined for landfill.
We work mainly with European skins (France, Spain, Italy), from LWG certified suppliers. This certification guarantees compliance with animal welfare and environmental standards, as well as complete traceability of each skin. All our skins also meet REACH standards, guaranteeing the use of chemicals that comply with legal requirements.
The selection process is particularly rigorous: each skin is chosen according to its unique characteristics — thickness, softness, regularity of color — and according to the desired enhancement: wool side or suede side.
Our collections are then handcrafted in our workshop in Portugal by artisans specializing in sheepskin. Their expertise in cutting and sewing results in unique pieces that are both durable and refined.
