In a previous life, Lunasa Leather was named xobruno, an incarnation that lasted 13 years. As the circumstances of the business and leather industry changed, it was necessary to rebrand to more acutely align with our core values, and offer a business model that places integrity, advocacy and right relationship at the center of our products and production. This is an archive of the history of our journey through the years. We are proud of how far it's come.
