Compared to animal leather with a consumption of 60.1kg CO2/m2, grape leather only consumes 3.8kg CO2/m2 emissions. In addition, with our grape sneakers VLACE we save on average 69% less carbon than an average pair of leather sneakers.
Our partner has developed an innovative material that is characterized by a high proportion of plant-based, renewable and recycled raw materials: grape residues from wine production, vegetable oils and natural fibers from agriculture. We have set ourselves the task of making an innovative contribution to the fashion industry by producing sneakers with a low environmental impact.
Our GrapeSkin material is REACH compliant, VEGAN certified, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified and not tested on animals! Our producer was also awarded the Global Change Award for the innovative biomaterials developed.
