Discover our range of handbags made from Italian Uppeal™ Appleskin. Our Transit + Gemini handbags combine bold silhouettes with next-gen materials for a modern mood.

This innovative leather alternative is made from the waste of the apple industry, with the fabric having a carbon footprint around 8 times lower than animal leather.

The Uppeal™ Appleskin fabric does not require the extreme amounts of water + energy as animal leather to be produced, nor does it require the chemicals used to stop animal skin from decomposing - ie the tanning process that is used for approximately 90% of the world's leather.

Waste from the production of apple juice + jams is recovered, and instead of the usual disposal - by burning to ashes or depositing in landfill - these apple materials are dried, ground + turned into a powder which is laid out + sealed with a resin to create a durable leather alternative.
