Department store John Lewis is to exclusively use leather from farms that supply sister retailer Waitrose for its own-label sofas and chairs as the two retailers seek to better complement each other and operate sustainably.
John Lewis said leather will be supplied by âhigher-welfare farmsâ that provide Waitrose with beef.
The scheme follows an earlier tie-up between the department store and Waitrose following the launch in 2021 of âcircular-designâ John Lewis mattresses, which used wool sourced from Waitrose farms that would otherwise have gone to waste.
