Created by chemists in the USA, MIRUM® vegan leather is a categorically new material, as other plant-based vegan leathers on the market today rely on a percentage of plastic to achieve their durability. MIRUM® leather is made in the USA by Natural Fiber Welding, produced at a renewable energy powered factory in Illinois. It's much less resource intensive to produce than animal or synthetic leather, and requires no water during manufacturing.
MIRUM® leather is not only beautiful, plasticfree and natural – it's also tough. Testing has found MIRUM® to be incredibly tear, abrasion, water and UV resistant. In fact, MIRUM® is too hardwearing to be legally classified as biodegradable. But so is a tree. Just as you don't want your wooden house to break down whilst you're living in it, you don't want your designer vegan handbag to break down whilst you're wearing it. MIRUM® lasts an incredibly long time, and returns nutrients to the soil at the end of its life.
