Alpha Grape Leather Vegan Sneakers | Blue By Zeta Shoes

Grape Leather: Grape leather is created using waste from winemaking – Italian company Vegea worked to solve a foodwaste problem in Italy's wine industry by taking leftover grapes and using them to craft a highquality leatherlike material.

Every 10 litres of wine can produce 2.5 litres of waste such as shells, skins and cores, which are usually discarded. Vegea (the name is a combination of “vegan” and “gea”, meaning Earth) has won a H&M Global Change Award and been used in H&M's Conscious Exclusive Collection, as well as for interiors in Bentley's electric cars.

The leather is made by dehydrating the grape residue and combining it with vegetable oil and waterbased polyurethane. It is then coated with organic cotton. Vegea reuses any water used in its production process, and the final material contains only minimal amounts of nontoxic chemical reagents.
