Materials & Components
OUTER
Desserto® cactus leather, developed by the Mexican company Adriano Di Marti, is a very high quality biomaterial, made from Nopal cactus (also called Barbary fig tree).
Fully integrated into the local flora, this cactus is grown according to the methods of organic farming and without resorting to irrigation. Nopal is also an exceptional CO2 trap, which allows Adriano di Marti's crops to have a very clearly positive carbon footprint.
The manufacture of Desserto® consumes 9 times less energy and emits nearly 20 times less greenhouse gases than that of animal leather.
The visual aspect and the pleasure to the touch of the Desserto® are simply amazing. Tests carried out by an independent laboratory, the Leather Technical Center, have also shown that this cactus leather is equivalent to calf leather in terms of strength and longevity.
INNER
The Ultrasuede® is manufactured by the Japanese company Toray and incorporates nearly 30% of components from the recovery of sugar cane waste.
Econyl® is a 100% recycled and recyclable nylon fiber, made from plastic waste (bottles, fishing nets, etc.) by the Italian company Aquafil.
The fabrics used to make other linings are made of GOTS certified organic cotton (Global Organic Textile Standard), a label that guarantees the organic origin of the textile but also ecologically and socially responsible production.
Forebio® reinforcements are offered by the French company Keck Chimie, which has been present in the shoe and leather goods industry for more than a century.
These reinforcements, certified GRS (Global Recycled Standard), innovatively combine recycled textile fibers and latex from responsible sources. These products are also 100% recyclable.
Their excellent expansion capacity and remarkable resistance make it a first-class material for making bags and small leather goods.
