Our Materials — Banana Leather
A leather with no animal behind it.
Banana leather is a plant-based material made from banana-plant fibre — a by-product of fruit farming, given a second, longer life.
Most of a banana plant is thrown away once it has fruited. We start there.
The stem left behind is rich in long, durable fibres. Processed carefully, those fibres become a supple, leather-like material — warm to the touch, with a natural grain, and entirely plant-based.
It lets us offer the look and structure people expect from leather bags, purses and clutches without an animal hide in the supply chain.
Material descriptions are general. No certifications or environmental results are claimed here.
How it's made
From discarded stem to finished bag.
Harvest
Banana plants fruit once, then the stem is usually discarded. That stem holds long, strong fibres.
Extract & process
The fibre is separated, cleaned and processed into a supple, leather-like sheet material.
Finish & craft
The material is finished and cut into bags, purses, clutches and totes — no animal hide involved.
