Tina Stacey, Chance for Children Charity, UK
“AKU Creations is our first choice leather supplier. We have purchased bags and belts that have been of the highest quality, to sell at charity fund raising events. As a charitable organisation the ethics of our supplier is of the utmost importance. We know the business is operated with fair trade in mind, with no corners cut for profiteering or commercialisation. They are a truly ethical, professional and accomplished team who we would recommend to anyone.”
