The sustainable vegetable leather substitute derives from palm bark leaves. A special treatment makes it supple – a process that is cheap, simple in application and environmentally friendly. The natural colour, texture and elegance are preserved. For processing for sandals or bags, a particularly attractive effect is the contrast between appearance and surface feel.
