Plant & Bio-Based Leather

Our soft and durable Apple leather is created by upcycling fruit waste from apple juice production in Italy’s South Tyrol and pressing it with recycled cotton and polyester. It’s a more sustainable alternative to typical vegan leathers that are made from polyurethane and, in line with our aesthetic standards, is supple and smooth to the touch. 

As befits the name, our Elvis leather is soft to touch with a rock ’n’ roll edge. This distinctive leather is made from premium water buffalo skin that’s vegetable-tanned to bring out the fine grain, then polished with a touch of wax to give it a subtle shine. Plus, all of our Elvis leather comes from our bio-based leather program, which repurposes clean production waste to create eco-friendly bio-fertilisers. 

The high shine and smooth feel of our Glossy Calfskin is the effect of a special glass-polishing treatment that’s absorbed by the leather, rather than layered on top of it. Bio-based plant extracts are then applied to soften the skin, so that it will develop a textured, fabric-like patina over time. 

Robust yet soft in feel, our Buffalo leather has a medium grain texture with natural vein patterns that make every piece subtly unique. The depth and shine are enhanced by tanning with plant-based dyes and it’s a hard-wearing material that will age beautifully for years to come.
