#23: Leather… Without the Animals
The fashion world has long struggled with leather production — the look and feel of leather are unmatched, but the cost to animal welfare and the environment is massive. Two innovators from Mexico decided to change that.
They created an organic, cruelty-free leather alternative made entirely from cactus leaves. Called “Desserto,” this material mimics the texture and durability of real leather without harming animals or damaging the planet. If widely adopted, it could save countless animals and reshape the future of sustainable fashion.
