Fashion becomes ethics and there are many brands that listen to the needs of new consumers who every day make more conscious choices that respect the environment and animals. We already told you about Muskin, there vegetable leather extracted from the mushroom cap which can be processed in a very similar way to the animal one except for the tanning, which is completely vegetable, in order to obtain leather goods suitable for vegans.

An alternative to leather of animal origin for those who by choice prefer to buy cruelty-free products for shoes, accessories and clothing. We also remember that everything is non-toxic and that the skin can be used without problems to create products that are in direct contact with the epidermis.

Nat-2 knows this well with his own sneakers made with mushrooms, an eco-sponge made up of recycled plastic bottles, a cork insole and a natural rubber sole. The idea bears the signature of the Berlin designer Nina Fabert, creator of the Zvnder brand and of the material produced through the processing of Fomes Fomentarius, the Latin name of the Bait Mushroom, an inedible species that grows on broad-leaved trunks.
