Our upcycled leather pieces begin as clothes someone else wore first. We make them from donated leather garments, mostly jackets and trousers, sourced locally in Denmark. Each one is taken apart and reworked into a new Taus piece in our Copenhagen studio.
What we keep
We keep what tells a garment's story. Original wear marks, pockets, zips and buttons stay part of the new piece, so colour, hardware and details vary from one to the next. No two are the same.
The pieces
The Upcycled Leather Top is built from two leather jackets, reworked into a fitted cap-sleeve silhouette with a round neckline and a slight flare at the hem. It comes in black and brown.
The Upcycled Leather Pencil Skirt is made from two pairs of leather trousers, cut into a knee-length pencil shape with a waistband at both the waist and the hem. The fly becomes a slit, whichever way you wear it.
For Spring Summer 2027 we took the idea further, with a bar jacket in upcycled leather carrying a worn-denim trompe l'oeil.
Made to order
Every upcycled leather piece is made to order in Copenhagen once you have ordered it, and ships within about two weeks. Because each is built from different garments, yours will be unique.
Caring for upcycled leather
Air leather after wearing, away from direct sunlight and heat, and condition it regularly so it stays supple. The marks of its earlier life are part of the piece. See our care guide for more.
