MATERIALS
We create our products using as many environmentally responsible & recyclable materials as possible. We use bio-based fabrics made from apple waste, cactus fiber and recycled plastic bottles.
KAPOK
Kapok is a natural, cellulosic fiber. It is obtained from the seed hairs of kapok trees (Ceiba pentandra). Kapok is also called as silk cotton or java cotton. It is smooth, lightweight, unicellular, cylindrically shaped, hollow body, and very buoyant, and twist less fiber.
PINEAPPLE MATERIAL
After pineapple harvest, the suitable plant leaves which are left behind are collected in bundles and the long fibers are extracted. The fibers are washed then dried naturally by the sun. Then this fluff-like pineapple leaf fiber gets mixed with a corn based polylactic acid.
VEGEA FABRIC
This material is made using pomace: the residue of the vinification made up of grape skins and seeds. The name VEGEA comes from the combination of VEG (Vegan) and GEA (Mother Earth). It was chosen to identify next generation of alternative materials to totally oil-based and animal-derived ones.
CHAIN
The chain is made of methacrylate mixed with poppy seeds and paprika. Seeds, essence of life itself, symbolise the everlasting cycle of renewal and transformation in nature.
APPLE MATERIAL
This innovative material recovers apple peels and cores from food industry discards. The apple waste is used to substitute other raw materials of chemical origin and reduce energy consumption along the entire food production chain.
COFFEE MATERIAL
This new material gives new life to coffee grounds. To obtain it, coffee grounds are mechanically broken down into powder which is mixed with waterborne polyurethane to create the specific material.

RUBBER MATERIAL
The outer sole, with a deeply embossed logo, is made of natural rubber with cork remains, a 100% natural raw material that is born from a tree and retrieved every nine years without the tree ever being cut.
RECYCLED NYLON
A large part of the recycled nylon comes from old fishing nets and pre-used garments, a great solution to divert garbage from the planet and the oceans. It can also be recycled again.
ORGANIC CACTUS
This innovative vegan material is made with cactus leaves. Cactus is a natural carbon sink, it has a great CO2 sequestering capacity. Only the mature leaves of the plant are cut without damaging the plant itself. It takes approximately three leaves of cactus to create one linear meter of fabric.
CORK MATERIAL
Cork is an ecological and renewable material with origins in the western Mediterranean area. Due to the extraction of its cortex, the cork tree absorbs five times more CO2 than other trees. This material is obtained without mistreating or damaging the tree.
COFFEE STONES
A new plastic material that combines methacrylate with coffee powder which makes the blend special and unique.This blend is worked to create stone effect beads that alternate with aluminum rings to create new and sophisticated handles. The look is shiny with a natural feel in three different colors.

ECO FUR
This material is produced with recycled polyester, it is animal free and it represents a decrease of 32% in energy use and 59% in CO2 emissions compared to virgin polyester.
RECYCLED TETRA PAK®
The chain is made of a new plastic material coming from recycled polylaminate food boxes, the most known as Tetra Pak®. The mix obtained is composed of Polyethylene and Aluminum which gives a metallic touch.
DUST BAG
Organic cotton comes from non genetically modified plants and without the use of any synthetic agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers or peticides.
RECYCLED MATERIALS
The linings of our bags are made with 100% recycled materials, most of these obtained from PET plastic bottles.
