Muskin
100 percent biodegradable vegetal leather, extracted from mushroom caps.
MuSkin is a 100 % vegetable eco-alternative to animal leather.
It comes from the Phellinus ellipsoideus, a kind of big parasitic fungus that grows in
the wild and attacks the trees in the subtropical forests. The total absence of toxic substance makes Muskin ideal for the use in close-to-skin applications and thanks to its very natural origin it limits bacteria proliferation. Muskin is a skin extracted from the mushroom hat and is processed in a manner totally similar to that animal, with a tanning, however, entirely natural. MuSkin‘s soft surface has a “touch” very similar to a suede leather and its consistence, or texture, goes from soft to slightly harder as cork.
