Rooted in Raw Materials

Sourced at the Root. Traded With Confidence.

From full-grain hides to long-staple cotton, Thread & Skin trades on materials the group grows, spins and tans itself — carbon-neutral leather from Khawaja Tanneries, premium cottons across 300,000 spindles, and fabric woven on 500 looms.
