We created Katie with a focus on water. We used the most sustainable tanning method available - vegetable tanning*, and lowered its water consumption even further with 53%.
For every sale of Katie, we help save a seahorse in partnership with Project Seahorse. Seahorses, among the most magical of animals, are in trouble because of human activity. Project Seahorse is leading the world in saving them.

WHY SEAHORSES?
Seahorses are truly special creatures, known for their odd shape and male pregnancy. They often remain with the same partner for life and are camouflaged perfectly to the places they call home. Seahorses are also powerful ambassadors for ocean health, reflecting how we treat the ocean.
Right now, seahorse populations are in trouble because of human activities. Huge numbers are fished up – mostly by reckless fishing gear that catches everything – and their coral and seagrass habitats are being destroyed. Once caught, seahorses are sold for traditional medicines, aquariums and souvenirs. These same threats are affecting many other life forms in our seas.

SAVING OUR SEAS
Project Seahorse is an award winning marine conservation team led by women who achieve great things. It has made huge progress in conserving ocean life around the world. The team’s goal is to make sure that human activities do not threaten species of wild marine animals.
So far, Project Seahorse has created 35 marine protected areas! It also secured the first global controls on exporting marine fishes, and united 1400 organisations in its mission to save seahorses - and our seas. Now Project Seahorse is working to end illegal wildlife trade and bottom trawling (a highly destructive method of fishing), with all the loss and destruction they cause.
