Congratulations to the Hon. @JoyceMurray on her appointment as Canada’s new Minister of Fisheries and Oceans (@FishOceansCAN). We are pleased to be setting up our facility in her riding.
We look forward to a new understanding of Pacific issues at the federal level.

Let’s start off on the right foot! What are your preferences when it comes to shoe soles? 🥾

Being Ladyboss of a startup means doing anything that needs to be done. Here is a glimpse of Tasha's recent foray out visiting fish processors, explaining our business, and seeking sources of fish skins for upcoming production.

We are a #startup developing finely finished #fish #leather and prototyping #Cascadian crafted ankle boots with it to give the boot to offshoring dirty industry, netting instead a clean new future together…& some very cool kicks. We hope to sell sometime in 2022!

Created from sea and tree, fish leather distills the essence of the Pacific Northwest into a durable and beautiful product through an environmentally friendly process.

What do you do for vacation when you are the Lady Boss of a Pacific Northwest bark-tanned fish leather startup? Take a little boat up the coast, of course! We hope everyone has a chance to get away for a bit & take a break

Here is a glimpse of what you can expect when your kitchen is also temporarily a fish leather laboratory. Our team recently did some hands-on work-from-home testing together, under the watchful eye of our Chief Morale Officer 🐶

[7 Leagues Leather @7_leagues]

There is only 1 type of Atlantic salmon, whereas there are 7 kinds of Pacific salmon, 5 of which are on our coast - and that's just the salmon!
At 7 Leagues, we test skins of sustainably caught local fish to repurpose as leather🎣

What weighs 595 kilograms, is stainless steel, made in Germany and just docked in Vancouver? We’ll give you a hint. It looks like this.

More equipment is on its way from Italy, too. It’s getting real, folks, oh so real.

Tannins used to make veg tanned leather come from plants. Plants make them to protect themselves against fungal and bacterial attack. Veg tanned leather provides you the same service, plus it is environmentally clean!

A new batch of beautifully tanned salmon leather. Their rich & vibrant colour is thanks to our BC hemlock tan; now if only you could experience their lovely scent too!
