"[T]his wonderful project and book, executed with great charm and creativity, is an important message." Anya Hindmarch

In this personal investigation into ethical and traceable leather, fashion designer Alice Robinson begins a ground-breaking journey into the origin story of leather and its connection to food and farming.

As a fashion student, Alice started to question the material she worked with. Leather is universally acknowledged as a luxury material, from which desirable bags, shoes and clothing are made. But how much do we know about where it comes from?

Alice's questions led back to her childhood home in rural Shropshire, where she decided to buy Bullock 374 and follow its journey from a local farm to the abattoir, then to the butchery and finally to the tannery. The journey culminates with Alice's own design practice as she creates a collection based on this single hide.

In doing so, Alice would begin to see the bigger picture - and connect farm, food and fashion for the first time to understand the true meaning of provenance, value and beauty.

Robinson, Alice V.: - Alice V Robinson is a cofounder of British Pasture Leather and the author of Field, Fork, Fashion, a book that chronicles the making of her 2019 design collection 'Bullock 374'. Her work explores the relationship between food and fashion by connecting farming to product design while revealing the story behind leather material. Alice's work has been shown at the London Design Festival, Victoria and Albert Museum, and MAD Brussels; her collection '11458' was acquired by the V&A in 2020.

Alice cofounded British Pasture Leather in 2020 with collaborator Sara Grady to create the first supply of leather made from animals raised on regenerative farms in the UK. Inspired by a belief that regenerative agricultural practices are a crucial solution in renewing soils, stewarding land and reforming food and fashion systems, British Pasture Leather is linking leather with exemplary agriculture and forging new connections between farming, food and material culture. In 2023, Grady + Robinson were named sustainability thought leaders by the Vogue Business 100 Innovators List and won the Ryan Young Climate+ Award from the Textile Exchange.
