The Apple Girl
We turn apples into leather.
Solving the leather problem with food waste. 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! We create a living, breathing product. Safe in your hands and the soil. We turn apples into leather! The material can be thick or thin, is resistant to mold, has a unique sensuous tactility and is soft, and you can sew and color it. Apple Leather is 100% biodegradable-in-nature “leather.” It 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.
