Exclusively designed for Gus* Modern and manufactured in Italy, the material was created to re-purpose the food remnants of the country’s apple orchard and juicing industries, and to answer a global call for an alternative to natural leather. The manufacturing process uses upcycled fruit fiber to create a biopolymer material that is vegan and OEKO-TEX® Certified.

This certification means that the material has been independently tested by OEKO-TEX® and verified to meet their strict standards for health and safety. Vegan AppleSkin™ Leather retains the look and feel of natural leather, showcasing an attractive interplay of texture, luster and refined comfort. The material is equally durable and easy to clean, resulting in designs that are both stylish and practical.
