Piñatex
January 13, 2020 • Matt Thomson
Piñatex is an extremely unique (and vegan) textile created from discarded pineapple leaves.
This makes it a very environmentally and low impact textile to create and an excellent substitute for animal leathers, particularly for products like bags where breathability is not a concern.
I love that Piñatex is created from what is traditionally a waste material, supports and creates additional employment for pineapple farmers in developing countries and is an alternative to PVC and vinyl vegan leathers (and not made from petrochemicals).
