What does it mean to be genuine ? According to the RAE , genuine or genuine is “ that it preserves its own or natural characteristics with total purity or authenticity ”. This adjective can be used to refer to a thing or a person . Naming something, or someone, as genuine is one of the most powerful compliments that exist, because it means that you see all its qualities and appreciate them as something unique, natural and your own ; something genuine .

Regina Romero is a Mexican fashion house founded in 1984 by an enterprising, visionary and genuine woman . By bearing the name of our founder , Regina Calzada de Romero, we are obliged to reflect all the values ​​that she, as a mother of a family and a Mexican woman, saw embodied in a dream ; it is one of the “Responsibilities Behind a Brand.”

For us it is very important to stay authentic in every way. From the original design of a pair of shoes to the materials we use. In recent years , much has been said about the implications of using leather for fashion products. The discussion ranges from ethical and environmental care issues , to economic ones.

For this reason, in the
last decade the production and consumption of alternative materials such as “vegan leather” —which is nothing more than a mixture of polymers or, in other words, plastic— or nopal skin , have gained a lot of traction. . We are not going to deny that there are some advantages in these materials; however, at Regina Romero we know that the benefits of using genuine leather , which is faithful to its natural characteristics , are many more.

Genuine leather or leather is a natural product . Since ancient times, animal skin has been used to make shoes, clothing and shelter . It is important that we point out that the skin we use at Regina Romero , for all our items , is a by- product of the meat industry . This means that we do not raise any animals exclusively for the fashion industry.

In addition, leather is also the friendliest material with your feet , not only does it let them breathe, thanks to its double breathability property —something that does not happen with “vegan leather” nor with nopal skin—, it is also waterproof . Similarly, genuine leather , being a natural fiber , molds to the shape of your foot avoiding chafing or scratches ; when the leather is well worked, it is the softest material for your feet .

Another point to consider is the environmental impact of each material . As we mentioned above, leather is a by- product of the meat industry , that is, its residues are reused to give new life to a material that would otherwise be waste. This cuts the carbon footprint of genuine leather goods in half .

Contrary to this, "vegan leather" , being a polymer derived from petroleum , has a massive negative impact on the environment. This does not end at the time of their production since, when these items are discarded , it is almost impossible for them to become biodegradable , generating unnecessary waste .

In the case of nopal skin , the impact is less, however, as it is a product of plant origin that must be transformed , it uses a large amount of water for its creation, a non-renewable resource that is becoming scarce. To this, we must add the life time that, in both cases , is much less than that of genuine leather , causing more products to be purchased in less time and multiplying their impact .

There are many more myths about genuine leather. If you want to know it, we invite you to read: "Myths and truths of the skin or leather."

At Regina Romero we consider genuine leather to be a timeless and elemental material ; which is true to its nature and pure by itself . It is malleable , flexible , friendly and easily adapted for those of us who know how to work with it. For us it is very important to stay true to our origins , as authentic and genuine as real skin .
