As a key offering in our Seasonal Specialties category within the Innovation Hub, we feature cutting-edge Apple Waste Leather. This innovative, bio-based textile is a testament to circular design, using the pomace (the core, skin, and pulp) left over from the apple juice industry to create a high-quality, cruelty-free, and sustainable alternative to traditional leather.
This material allows designers to create products with the sophisticated feel and aesthetic of fine leather while dramatically reducing environmental impact. It diverts agricultural waste from landfills and reduces the reliance on both animal agriculture and fossil fuel-derived plastic leather alternatives (PU/PVC).
Apple Waste Leather is ideal for brands committed to innovation in accessories and light apparel:
Bags & Accessories: Wallets, clutches, structured handbags, and small leather goods.
Footwear: Elegant, cruelty-free shoes and boots.
Apparel Detailing: Patches, labels, trims, and contrast panels on outerwear and accessories.
As an innovative and highly sought-after material, availability is often managed on a limited-run basis. We offer this through our Innovation Hub to give your brand early access to market-leading sustainable solutions.
