leather products "green stuff" slowly but surely find their way to the consumer. Be it as the interior of Mercedes research cars, as handbags, wallets, accessories or as key rings. Cactus Leather is as serious alternative to animal leather on the rise.

Sustainable alternatives are often tried and tested

While heavy metals such as chromium are used to preserve animal skins, Production of cactus leather no toxic chemicals are used.

Cacti are a renewable resource and in contrast to leather production, one of the most water-intensive industries in the world, just a little water.

The versatile artificial leather, which has been used as an alternative to leather by most fashion manufacturers, is also not sustainable. The imitation plastic is mostly made from petroleum and contains substances that are not biodegradable.

THEREFORE, PLANT-BASED MATERIAL MADE FROM CACTUS IS A SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE TO LEATHER!

Cactus-based animal-free leather is highly breathable and durable. The material is also particularly resistant and flexible at the same time.

Visually, cactus leather is in no way inferior to real leather

Cactus leather was invented by the two Mexicans Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez.

After working on the development for two years, they founded the start-up Desserto in 2019.

Desserto now supplies fashion companies and Start-up company with cactus leather who then manufacture products from it.
