The handbag project started out of the need to find an alternative material to replace leather, as any leather tanning process is not very eco-friendly. The solution is different plant-based alternative materials, but the problem is that usually one of the important components in these materials is plastic.
This collection has been created to test Ð as the handbagÕs outer material the world's first 100% plastic-free plant-based leather alternative that has reached the production stage. The material is produced in the USA and has a USDA certificate - 100% biobased material. The largest component of this material is natural rubber from rubber trees. The material also contains plant oils and waxes and various vegetable fillers.
