The science
Flaura leather is made from a combination of apple powder and inputs of renewable origin.
The development and manufacturing process was carried out in collaboration with the R&D team at Groupe CTT, a technology transfer center specializing in technical textiles and advanced materials.
Several tests have been carried out to certify, among other things, the leather's resistance to stretching, abrasion, UV rays, cold and heat, as well as its impermeability.
In the light of the results, Flaura leather demonstrates equal or superior quality and durability to animal and vegan leathers.
Renewable and biobased content
Short circuits
The manufacturing process is based on patent-pending short circuits that do not require the addition of water.
Sustained, local sourcing
Flaura boasts a solid, stable North American industrial production network, enabling it to ensure a steady supply to its customers.
Organic dyes and colorants
Organic dyes and colorants are given priority. Where necessary, an action plan is put in place to replace synthetic products.
Low environmental impact
Flaura leathers are free from plastic and petroleum products and are biodegradable over the long term. Flaura prioritizes bio-based wovens with low environmental impact.
Flaura plant based leather offers an eco-responsible option for the fashion and furnishings sectors, which are keen to reduce their carbon footprint. The current color palette includes classic staples such as black and brown. The color range will be expanded each year.
Various textures and weaves are available.
