    Moore & Giles was founded in 1933 in Lynchburg, Virginia during the heart of the Great Depression by Donald Graeme Moore. For over eighty years, Moore & Giles has dedicated themselves to the design and development of the most innovative and luxurious natural leather on the market. Today, they are committed to help produce the most sustainable leathers in the world. Leather, an irrefutable workhorse of a material has a long history of application; few materials can rival its longevity and flexibility of application. Nothing wears, ages or lasts quite like leather. To honor its origins, countless hours went into the creation of Eden, a pure aniline leather for architects and designers that has an exquisitely soft hand and subtly pronounced grain. What makes Eden truly unique is its mineral-free tanning process on hides that are byproducts from the beef industry. The tanning agent employed on Eden is the world's first cradle-to-cradle tanning technology and is made from the fallen leaves of olive trees. These leaves are a byproduct from olive production and are not harvested from live trees. Traditionally these leaves are considered waste and are burned, but their new value has created jobs and a sustainable wage for many living in the regions where the olives are grown. Further, this tanning agent, as well as subsequent steps in Eden's processing, including pigmentation, dying and finishing, are LBC red list chemical free. The end result is an exquisite, full-grain, semi-aniline leather with a rich, uniform color with a sophisticated matte finish. Eden's character is further enunciated by its soft, supple and luxurious hand, allowing the leather to drape beautifully.
