YARA COURO

Established in 2022, Yara Couro was created in — and for — the Amazon. In addition to corvina, the tannery also works with other native species such as yellow hake and pirarucu, always respecting forest cycles and traditional knowledge. The result is sustainable leather that supports local biodiversity and socio-environmental development.

 

Corvina and yellow hake leather

Yara Couro uses Green Leather technology to transform discarded fish skins from artisanal fishing into premium eather. Developed in collaboration with local cooperatives and entrepreneurs, this process creates a circular and regenerative model rooted in the Amazon.

 

The brackish water corvina is different from the saltwater species found in the UK. The tanning process is metal-free (natural finish) or uses a vegetable-based blend of organic

tannins and tree bark. The colouring of corvina and yellow hake is achieved with water-based pigments and/or natural extracts. Each piece is shaped to respect the natural patterns of the species.
