Introduction

As the fashion industry moves toward sustainability, plant-based leather emerges as a standout innovation. Crafted from renewable resources such as corn husk and banana fiber, this next-generation material combines style with ethics—offering a chic, eco-friendly alternative to both animal and synthetic leather. But what makes it the future of fashion?

Even synthetic alternatives like PU and PVC, while animal-free, are petroleum-based and contribute to microplastic pollution, making them far from a perfect solution.
