Materials

From Plants and Agricultural Resources

Our approach focuses on making better use of naturally available plant materials and agricultural resources. By transforming these resources into useful, premium materials, we aim to reduce waste and explore more responsible alternatives to conventional leather and petroleum-based synthetic materials. Our selected materials include pineapple fibre, banana fibre, rice straw, wheat straw and cotton fibre. Each has its own natural characteristics and potential applications, allowing us to explore different textures, properties and finishes for vegan leather. Five Plant-Based Materials

Pineapple Fibre

Pineapple leaves provide a valuable plant-based fibre that can be transformed into innovative material solutions. This agricultural resource offers an opportunity to create leather alternatives while making better use of materials that might otherwise be discarded.

Banana Fibre

Banana plants provide natural fibres with interesting strength and flexibility characteristics. Using banana fibre as a material resource allows us to explore new possibilities for developing versatile plant-based leather alternatives.

Rice Straw

Rice straw is an abundant agricultural residue generated after harvesting. Exploring rice straw as a material resource helps us look at ways agricultural residues can be converted into useful and innovative materials.

Wheat Straw

Wheat straw is another agricultural resource with potential for material innovation. Its use in developing vegan leather alternatives demonstrates how agricultural resources can become part of a more circular approach to materials.

Cotton Fibre

Cotton fibre brings familiar natural-fibre characteristics to our material development. It provides another plant-based resource for exploring the look, feel and performance expected from quality leather alternatives. Innovation Inspired by Nature Our process combines natural resources with technology and craftsmanship to develop materials with the look, feel, strength and performance expected from quality leather. We continue to explore how plant-based resources can contribute to innovative materials for modern products.
