Materials & production 

Animal leather

Exterior: Italian leather.
Interior: Ivory coloured leather lining.  

All our leather is certified with an LWG Silver or Gold rating. Promoting sustainable practices in all areas of leather production. Read more about our leather here.

 

We recommend spraying your bag with a water repellent coating such as Nanex, to avoid marks caused by raindrops.

Vegan leather

Exterior: MycaNova® a vegan leather alternative 
Interior: Recycled microfiber suede in ivory

MycaNova® is a product of Citribel, a Belgian company specialised in the production of citric acid. Citribel uses sugar molasses, a residual product from the nearby sugar factory in Tienen, and ferments it into citric acid, during which mycelium is formed. Until recently, mycelium was considered a waste product. Today, it is dried and ground into powder which, combined with binding agents and backing materials, becomes a vegan leather alternative. Just like animal leather, MycaNova® is elastic, sturdy, wear-resistant, scratch-resistant and tactile. But also rainproof and fully customisable in colour and texture. In every square meter of MycaNova®, 20 to 60 grams of plastic is replaced with mycelium. We are proud to be the first Belgian brand to launch a product made from this innovative Belgian biomaterial.

We use a minimum of zippers and metals to increase the longevity of your bag.

To keep the impact on our planet low, we invest in a production process that:
- Is energy-efficient
- Is low-waste
- Has a closed-loop-water system.
