The composition
Grape skin (made in Italy): 55% grape, 22% bio-PU, 23% recycled polyester 
Metal elements: plated brass certified without nickel or chrome, made in Portugal (premium quality)
The grape skin, is a premium material made in Italy with upcycled grape must recovered during the harvest. It’s waste recovery.
The grape skin is very resistant. The finish is a texture soft, textured and slightly shiny full-grain calfskin leather difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye (yes, we assure you!). It does not have
odor and does not fear water. It will not flake in a few
years. It has all the properties of animal leather without the ecological consequences, it emits 89% less GHG than the latter. It was designed to represent an ecological alternative to animal leather.

The NY base is semi-rigid.
 
The making
All bags are traditionally made in Portugal by hand, in a factory that has worked with the biggest French luxury brands for 30 years. The bags have the same level of finishing.
THEgrape skin represented a small technical challenge for the workshop master because he works it in the same way as animal leather. We worked closely with the workshop to develop perfect, high-end manufacturing.
An example : the edges of the bags are hand painted 7 times in a row (compared to 2 or 3 times for animal leather) and polished to obtain an impeccable finish.
The bags therefore take longer to make than if they were made of animal leather.
