Our exotic materials are sourced from certified suppliers who uphold the highest standards of animal welfare, environmental care, and traceability. Our materials are part of regulated, government-guided programs that support biodiversity, minimize waste, and create vital economic opportunities for rural communities through skilled, sustainable trade.

Unlike mass-market leathers such as cattle, exotic materials are sourced in smaller volumes from animals that are raised with a focus on responsible farming, conservation, and diverse uses, including agriculture — ensuring less waste. We choose them not for status, but for their durability, longevity, and lower environmental impact when compared to many traditional industrial materials. JULIANNA MILANO creates with intention — prioritizing lasting quality, circularity, and a more conscious vision of luxury that respects both people and the planet.

We believe that an artisanal piece should be sustainably created to last a lifetime. We use only the highest grade of hand selected exotic materials and hand-finished metals, ensuring our products are durable and crafted to last. By investing in premium materials and expert craftsmanship, we create pieces that are built to withstand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Long lasting products minimize waste and fewer discarded products equate to less material settling in landfills.

Our high-quality exotic pieces are designed to be easily repairable, instead of having to discard a damaged product, it can be repaired, extending its life and reducing the need for new materials. Our focus on highest-quality over large volume significantly reduces our carbon footprint and makes the entire lifestyle of our luxury products more sustainable.
