Projects All our projects are aimed at education and research in product development, quality management, animal care, and sustainability in general. E-Nomad network E-Nomad is an online network connecting herder communities in the East and West of Mongolia. It's in 2020 during Covid19 implemented by Aduu Mal and now run by Lhagva Lhagvasuren from his research centre in Dornod. The network facilitates online support with health issues, raw materials management and traceability, animal care, agriculture and education for young herders. In 31 on district units representatives are active to support local herders in the use of online equipment. The network has great potential to grow and become a useful tool national tool beyond the Aduu Mal network for the use by people we benefit to be connected while living isolated and at far distances. Aduu Mal sees additional potential in bringing the market near to the people stimulating entrepreneurship. ​ Visit the website in Mongolian language ​ Sustainable leather label A generic sustainability label for leather does not yet exist. Causing major confusion amongst consumers and retailers. It's one thing that a product is responsible developed and a general law is followed, it's another that a product is made sustainable in accordance to specific best practices. People can buy organic cotton and know what is stands for in farming and in the way it's processed. So why can't we present something similar for leather ? Together with partners, stake holders, other leather producers a possible answer for a leather label is being explored. Acknowledging, that any leather made starts with the advantage of being made from waste material, no animal is killed for its leather. That's already a start but it's not enough. ​ Yarn development A proverb says: "Many hairs bundled makes a rope". Aduu Mal works on composing a project to more extensively explore together with textile experts possible variations of blended horse yarns and textiles and its possible applications. If interest to join contact Matthea van Staden. ​ ​ If you like to stay posted about new developments or on one of our projects let us know!

Aduu Mal emblem A flying horse Aduu Mal emblem A flying horse ​ The name “Aduu Mal” is without any pretensions and means “livestock” with the horse (Aduu) as front runner. From tradition the Mongolian people are strongly connected with the horse. There is a saying: “The Mongolian without a horse, is like a bird without wings.” ​ The winged horse in the Aduu Mal emblem reminds of Pegasus and is also an ancient image in Mongolian culture known as “Hii Mori”. “Hii'' is a gas and can be considered live energy. The horse in stories is able to travel to the eternal sky and expresses as such a balance between the spirited and physical world (earth). ​ Good fortune implies “Hii Mori”. Bad faith and a lack of “Hii Mori”. Positively using all animal remains is considered to bring good fortune. With support of Aduu Mal the raw materials can be processed into newly desired fashionable products. ​

WHERE NATURE MEETS ART Leather Coat Leather Horse Hair Yarn ADUU MAL is born from an extremely vulnerable natural environment where seasons can be hoarse. In this surrounding the value not to exhaust or waste is from tradition known to the people, and things given by nature are considered a wonderful gift. Aduu Mal products are a treasure to cherish. Horse Leather It's own specific characteristics Leathers can be made in all types in endless variations. But a cow never becomes a goat and a horse is not a cow. ADUU MAL Horse leathers vary in thickness between 0,9-1,4 (not thicker). It has a special fine and tight grain structure and a good tear strength either when made into stiff standing leather or fluffy flexible leathers. Aduu Mal horse leathers are useful for shoes, bags, jackets, accessories, and upholsteries. Visit the catalog Coat leather Love to touch The furry side of the Mongolian horses are enchanting. In Winter the hair can grow 1 to 2 centimeters in length, they have an attractive shine and a softness everybody loves to touch. The leather side is 2,0 mm thick. Suitable for interior, decoration on bags, shoes, boots and jackets. Kept in natural colors each coat-leather has its own character. Visit the catalog Horse hair A natural shine After a visit to the hairdresser, tail-and mane-hair can be used to make woven textiles, accessories for fashion, interior and brushes. Dark tail hairs are usually more thick, white hairs are relatively hard to get by. Special are the white lengthy tail hairs in use by violinists. The soft character of the manes give these less resilience and in average lengths are shorter. Short lengths of tail hair serve as a raw material for natural airy and resilient mattresses. Visit the catalog Horse hair yarn Much still left to explore We are indebted to Roufitex a former horse hair spinning factory in Roeselare, Belgium. As a family business they developed the technology for spinning the yarns by mixing these with cotton or cotton replacements. Today their machines are in use in our factory in Mongolia. Textiles made from these yarns are traditionally used hidden as lining but certainly new applications and yarn blends are waiting to be discovered to bring the beauty of this type of textile to the surface. Visit the catalog Other natural fibers and leathers from Mongolia Aduu Mal support We work closely with local cooperatives and herders who have other natural fibers and wool to offer. These can be supplied and included in our systematics of traceability and responsible animal husbandry. And if desired be processed by partner companies. Contact us In stock! DAOS Black-White Sole € 119,00 Price VAT Included View Details Sustainability Traceability ADUU MAL places the herders and their natural surrounding at the core from which all expands: from sourcing to production to distribution, sales to end-users. The ADUU MAL protocol is for the full-chain embedded in our running application for ISO 45001 / Health & Safety, 14001 / Sustainability, 9001 / Quality management - 2021. Natural diversity The economic well-being of the herders strongly correlates with the feasibility to preserve the natural divers eco-system. A healthy economic balance is required to be able to effectively ban hunting on rare speeches; to stop the incentive to ever enlarge livestock and mono-culture resulting in overgrazing and not necessarily more protein; and to create enough resilience to respond on climate change. Renewable resources Adopting only "natural products" (what is natural?) in the process doesn't necessarily lead to a more sustainable approach. ADUU MAL has narrowed down its focus on the impact on waste management (non-toxic and as much biodegradable as possible) by the use of products from renewable resources, responsibly harvested. In practice this means avoiding; the use of metals; solvents from the petrochemic industry; use of PVC, PU acrylates and it requests being critical on the farm-origin of organic tanning and finishing agents. Animal welfare Animals are raised within a typical pastoral "traditional" life-stock system. The horses live semi-wild as the have freedom to look for grazing areas up-to 40 km from the families homes. The cooperatives work together with local veterinarians on improving health monitoring systems to recognize illness, and manage water or food shortages in certain seasons. To secure a close and human relation between people and their animals they seek for a balance between the adoption of new technology and traditional methods. In support of this ADUU MAL does not source from abattoirs and is determined to work with suppliers managing a divers life-stock of a responsible size. Water & electricity As processing takes place in a surrounding with annually increasing droughts, ADUU MAL is destined to limit the water usage to the utmost. Aside general methods for minimizing the waste residues in the water and enabling recycling ADUU MAL more fundamental adopted a for the water waste less harmful technology using also significantly less water: it's free of the use of metals, reduces the use of sulfites, and reduces the use of salt by skipping the pickling process. ​ ADUU MAL's influence on the use of electricity is limited in managing the production time and process. As yet Aduu Mal is not in the position to organize an independent natural energy source. People Sustainability is part of an ongoing process and starts with a specific mind-set: the suggestion to be able to take possession and full control is the weakest link in a sustainable value chain. Nature is flexible and natural behaviour is responsive. ADUU MAL acts accordingly by staying aware, and stimulating transparency in communication amongst our workers, suppliers and partners. As a company ownership is with us all and should be for the benefit of us all. ADUU MAL cares for feasibility, honesty and understanding. ​ ADUU MAL is proud to work with cooperatives that recognize the importance of educating young herders and actively initiate research.

Leather Whole leather hide The Aduu Mal horse leathers are sold per skin with an average size of 2- 2.3 sqm2. Although the general characteristic of the whole skin is the same, the leather does naturally has various stretch characteristics, with slightly thicker, stiffer areas. ​ Depending the type of tanning used they are suitable for upholstery, shoe upper, jackets/jeans, bags and other accessories. View leather catalog About leather Purchase options The leathers can be sold to you at different stages in their processing. As wet-white, crust or finished leather. Wet white As a wet-white the skins are as the name says - still wet. The after tanning required to determine the end characteristics and finishings haven't been applied yet. Usually they are already split to a required thickness. It offers you maximum flexibility when interested to work on the skins to develop own divers set off articles. The skins need to preserved at a cool place an preferable be crusted within 3 months time. The processing into wet-whites is often done in large drums in large quantities. Crust In the crusting process final characteristic of the leather are determined: flexibility, thickness, softness, tear strength and often the basic colored is drum dyed. Even then still its possible to make from a basic crust a wide range of divers leathers and colors (usually darker than the base crust not lighter). In considering an own collection of leathers its therefor interesting to look for a base crust and explore the variations. Crusts are dry and can be kept in a shaded dry but airy environment for long times. Crusts are usually been made in smaller drums to enable more diversity in production. The minimum order for horse crusts are 50 skins. Finishings In the finishings ADUU MAL generally uses pigments for coloring in combination with ecological water or oil based finishings without strong coverage but this also depends on the application. Only for small collection ADUU MAL applies Bee wax. In the finishing you can determine if you like embossments, pull up effect or a more even look. The minimum order is related to the minimum crust order. Based on a minimum of 50 crust hides divers finished leathers can be made. In case you like a very dark color next to a very light color two different types of crust will be needed and this effects the minimum order quantity. Sustainability choices 1. Tanning In tanning we use a wet -white process. Environmentally, it reduces water usage, production time, chemical demand, and the treatment of wastewaters and chemical residue. Importantly, no additional salt is added during the process. 2. Dyes The color option in using natural dyes without fixation and oxidation metals is limited. ADUU MAL sees more benefit environmentally in the easy to balance use of synthetic dyes. Dyes are subject to laws and regulations, and the use of certain azo compounds is due to health risk prohibited in the European Union. ADUU MAL uses only tanning products and dyes supplied by producers from the European Union. 3. Finishings Depending on the application ADUU MAL advises the uses of pigments for coloring in combination with water or organic oil based finishings without strong coverage. For small production Bee Wax is available (responsible harvested without harm to the bees). Parafine gives a nice naturally effect but being are residue of the petrochemical industry are not used in ADUU MAL finishings.
