YES! MIRUM® is the first all-natural leather-like material that doesn't contain plastic or animal products. Made from the finest agricultural by-products (such as almond shells and corn silk) and other natural inputs like natural rubber and cotton, it provides a greener alternative to leather and plastic.

Plastic recycling is energy-intensive, and only 9% of the world's plastic waste gets recycled. To maximize our movement towards a better planet, we only use plastic-free, cruelty-free, and plant-based leather made 100% from natural inputs.

MIRUM® feels like premium leather. Some of us believe that you couldn’t tell the difference between premium animal leather and MIRUM® if you touched them without prior knowledge.

Despite its recent introduction, MIRUM® has proven its quality and value and has been trusted by world-renowned brands for various purposes. To strengthen our commitment to sustainability and luxury, we only use MIRUM with a strong cotton backing that further adds to the durability and premium quality.

As part of our commitment to sustainability, we only use 100% natural mineral inputs that make strong integrated colours come to life. We don't use any synthetic dies.

Despite our appreciation for such innovative materials, we don't use cactus, pineapple, or any other hybrid leather since they currently include petroleum-based products (such as PU or PVC), often as binding agents, which reduces their sustainability. Instead, we chose to work with MIRUM® which is a premium plant-leather made from 100% natural inputs.

We only use water-based glue in the products which is the most sustainable way to add more strength and durability.

Signature plates on the back of each product represent the artisan who passionately crafted that piece. Highlighting artisans and appreciating their efforts is an important part of our commitment to ethical manufacturing and social sustainability.
