FAQs

Markore believes access to education is one of the most effective ways to create lasting social change. In many regions, girls face the greatest barriers to learning, even though educating them creates a proven ripple effect across families, communities, and future generations. Supporting girls’ education reflects Markore’s purpose of connecting craftsmanship with meaningful progress. Each Markore product contributes approximately 8 percent toward our education initiatives, with a clearly defined amount allocated to education for every qualifying item.

Why We Fund Education

Yes. Every Markore piece is hand-cut, hand-stitched, and often hand-finished by skilled artisans. We don’t use factory lines or mass production, just patient craftsmanship.

We use full-grain, gently tanned leather sourced from LWG Gold-rated tanneries. Some products are made with Ecotan® a metal-free, biodegradable leather tanning process.

Yes, and that’s the beauty of it. Our leather is designed to develop a unique patina, a soft sheen and darkening that reflects how you use it. No two pieces age the same.
