ABOUT

The hide of marine animals has been used for clothing and practical objects for millennia. Think seal, snake, crocodile skin, whale fat, feathers. All materials that have been put to use in rich cultural histories.

Fish leather tanneries have faded into the background since the industrial age, However, with increasing demand for alternatives for to commercial leather, the industry around fish leather is thriving.

We exchange in fish skins that are by-products of the fishing industry, otherwise ending up in waste. With the increasing attention to traceability of goods, especially when dealing with animal skins within the incredibility polluting fishing industry, NYVIDD encourages the use of natural processes. We are dedicated to developing tanning methods which are not harmful to the environment and dealing with suppliers who can also be transparent in their operations.

WHAT WE DO

Based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, we are a provider of fish leather of exceptional quality. From various fish species, each with defining features and unique characteristics.

NYVIDD represents fish leather of the best quality available on the market. We currently exchange fish leathers from suppliers based in Northern Europe. A large portion of our selection of leathers are fully biodegradable, tanned without metal and colored with natural dyes. However, degrees of naturality may vary depending on stocks. We aim to only sell naturally processed skins, however, we will disclose if the product is tanned and dyed with harsh chemicals.

We intend to grow our connections with tanneries, fisheries and dyers, as well as the artists and designers whom purchase our stock of skins. See our projects and collaborations page for inspiration and news on past and upcoming endeavors.

NYVIDD encourages collaborations with individuals and businesses who have interest in our services. With an ever growing body of projects, NYVIDD is as much a creative in the alternative to industrial leather industry as it is a supplier of skins.
