An innovative natural textile alternative to exotic leather made from discarded dried pods

 
 

Leukeather is a vegetal, sustainable, and ethical material alternative to exotic leathers made from dried plant pods, a by-product of existing agriculture.

 
 

While it is breathable, cruelty-free, and non-toxic, it is the first and only vegetal leather in the market that is naturally patterned and does not rely on embossing fake patterns and textures to resemble animal and exotic skins.

 
 

We developed a technology that modifies the properties of dead pods’ fibers, giving them flexibility and uses in various applications.

 

  • Materials

    Leukeather is naturally patterned and textured. It takes pride in its own identity and does not rely on embossing fake textures and patterns on its surface to resemble exotic leather.

  • Technology

    We work with farmers to harvest discarded plant pods. The pods’ fibers’ properties are then biologically modified using our patented process to make them softer, flexible, elastic, and water-resistant.

  • Impact

    Our main objective is to promote a positive environmental and social impact through commercializing our material.
