The Apple Girl
Turning apples into 100% biodegradable-in-nature leather
We are committed to producing quality textile made in sustainable processes. Core to our culture is daring to think differently about complex problems we face as a society. An apple might be a strange thing to think about as a base material for the next innovation in high performance leather. But it’s all that’s on our mind at The Apple Girl. The future of materials is in using food waste!
Apple Leather can be both rigid or highly flexible with an enchanting handle and unique story. It's vegan, and you can laser cut in it. We apply tech-driven research with cross-disciplinary collaborations to craft the highest performing Apple Leather with sensuous aesthetics. Our storytelling of pulp waste transformed into products enables conscious consumers to display their values and make a statement buying our sustainable innovation.
