PIÑATEX® is a vegan leather alternative made from fibers of the pineapple plant - a waste product of the pineapple harvest.
It is durable, flexible, breathable, water resistant and soft. It is suitable for making bags, furnitures and shoes.
Fibers from the pineapple leaves are used as raw material for the PIÑATEX® production, which do not have to be cultivated extra, as they are waste from the pineapple harvest. The long fibers are extracted still on the plantation. After washing, drying and degumming, a fibrefelt can be produced from it. This is tanned in Spain or Italy by using a process that nearly eliminates the use of non-recyclable chemicals. PIÑATEX® is not biodegradable.
Our Mineral Collection is made of up to 95% renewable resources and has the same wrinkled texture as the Original collection. With a distinguished lustresubtle and shimmer, the Mineral Collection is perfect to elevate the look of any product.
