GRAPE SKIN
A material derived from grapes, innovative, durable and resistant. Among the various plant "leathers" on the market, grape plant material is probably the most incredible in terms of results. Similar to leather, it is a beautiful natural alternative to animal leather.
Innovation at the service of the future
Created in Italy by the start-up Vegea®, grape plant material is the most awarded of all plant material innovations.
Innovative, sustainable and of high quality, it is made from the residues of the wine industry.
To weave one m² of grape plant material and make a grape bag, it takes an average of 2.5 kilograms of grape pomace, which which represents 7 vines. With a huge advantage: grape production is abundant in Europe and the Mediterranean, and grape marc from winemaking is an abundant by-product of viticulture, which must be recycled or disposed of in the compliance with environmental standards.
