Swedish outdoor footwear business Icebug has launched a pilot collection made from “fully traceable” Nordic nubuck leather supplied by Spoor.  

Owned by Scan-Hide in Denmark, Spoor uses processing-proof laser technology to print unique identification digits on its hide, the same as those borne by each cow or calf’s ear tag. This enables documented, animal-to-finished-product traceability for its leathers. The company can similarly provide “order-specific climate data”, explained head of sustainability at Icebug, Maria Munther.
