Your clothes and handbags are at the forefront of sustainable design. How did you get the idea to use cactus and eucalyptus fibers in your production? Why is sustainable production so important to you?
While living in San Francisco a few years ago, I came across mushroom leather, which sparked a huge interest in leather alternatives. It was too expensive for me at the time, but I luckily came across other options such as apple, grape, pineapple, and finally cactus leather, which I love because, unlike most options, it doesn’t use plastic to put all the components together.
Additionally, it has a similar look and feel to traditional leather, which is quite incredible. Our cactus leather is grown on a farm in Mexico solely on rainwater and uses 1/5 the amount of water to produce as traditional leather. It is also partially biodegradable (cactus part), and the remaining components (bio-based PU, not to be confused with conventional PU) are highly recyclable.
