At Of Nettle & Hide, sustainability isn’t a buzzword; it’s a promise and a practice. Through both Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary and Ironhead Leather, we craft with intention, honoring the balance between people, planet, and the art of making by hand.
Sustainability Practices
At Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. To honor the Earth and reduce environmental impact, all products are made-to-order with care and intention. This approach allows us to minimize waste and ensure every creation is crafted specifically for you.
We source ethically and locally whenever possible, using natural materials chosen for their integrity and environmental responsibility. Packaging is minimal, recyclable or compostable, reflecting our ongoing commitment to reduce landfill waste.
Our process embraces slow, intentional creation. While your order may take a little longer to arrive, it’s because each piece is made with time, patience, and care — ensuring it nourishes both you and the Earth.
Ironhead Leather: Craftsmanship with Integrity
At Ironhead Leather (officially Ironhead Leather Works), Sam carries forward the tradition of handcrafted, durable design. Each leather piece — from belts and wallets to custom goods — is cut, tooled, and finished by hand.
In an age of mass production and fast fashion, our commitment to handmade craftsmanship is an act of sustainability in itself. By creating goods that last for years — even decades, we help reduce waste and challenge the disposable mindset that harms both people and the planet.
We believe sustainability also means repair over replacement, and we proudly offer support and care instructions to help extend the life of every piece we make. Every mark, every stitch, and every imperfection tells the story of real hands, honest materials, and mindful creation.
Mutual Aid & Community Care
True sustainability extends beyond what we make — it’s also about how we care for one another.
For the month of November, 10% of every sale from Mother Earth Hearth & Apothecary will go toward building mutual aid kits to support individuals and families in need. These kits include modest but essential items and are distributed locally with care and respect for privacy.
Moving forward, 10% of all ritual kit sales will continue to support mutual aid efforts indefinitely. As we grow, we plan to increase this percentage and share updates on how these contributions are helping strengthen our community.
If you know someone who could benefit from a mutual aid kit, please reach out, we believe real sustainability is rooted in shared care and mutual support.
A Shared Promise
By supporting Of Nettle & Hide, you join a collective effort to live and create with purpose. Every purchase helps reduce waste, preserve traditional crafts, and extend compassion into our communities.
Together, we can honor the Earth, uplift one another, and sustain the beauty of what’s handmade, one thoughtful creation at a time.
