What we love about them? They don’t compromise in either direction. Form is as important as function is as important as sustainability, and they excel at all three. Not only are they dedicated to turning a global issue like food waste into a luxury product, they are completely transparent about themselves, and share a lot of information about their ethos, materials, and practices on their website.

Their small-batch production run is based on a few factors: how much raw material they can source (apples are more available than mangos), working with smaller, sustainable vendors to source and process the fiber (like Mexican-based Desserto for the cactus fibers), along with what the market is asking for. They ensure the timelessness of their products by using simple designs and prioritizing quality.
