Master Tanner Lotta Rahme is working to establish cooperation with fashion designers to utilize traditionally processed fish leather, which has a minimal environmental impact.
Currently, most fish leather is treated with chromium, a method that is not environmentally sustainable. In contrast, traditional tanning offers a sustainable alternative that has garnered interest in the fashion industry.
The product they are looking for is thin and beautiful fish leather with different patterns depending on the species of fish, which is easy to sew, washable, and durable.
Master Tanner Lotta Rahme aims to develop tanning methods and find ways to cooperate with the industry.
