No Bull

Leather might be a term primarily used as a material made from the skin of an animal but we are helping to repurpose the word to being a material like the skin but without the animal.

​

Completely free from all fossil fuel-derived additives and reduce associated greenhouse gas emissions.

Humble Kiwifruit

A national icon of New Zealand and exported worldwide, it is estimated that there are more than 100,000+ tonnes of rejected kiwifruit annually. It is one of the biggest fruit waste resources in NZ. 

​

They're lingering in landfills, wasting our water, polluting pristine land and encouraging eutrophication.

Reinventing Materials

Using green chemistry we harness the natural abilities of the kiwifruit to produce a highly adaptable vegan leather-like material. 

​

Redefining leather textiles, this next generation of cellulose material is plastic-free to offer a new design of possibilities in strength, tactility and luxury.

​

Endless Possibilities 

Our process is driven by impact and designed for scale. We are committed to offering people a novel and ethical alternative leather to fill a current gap in the market for high-quality leather material at scale, utilising New Zealand's clean and green image and keeping future generations in mind.
