Klisab's FALLFALL8 collection explores the concept of personal identity through fashion, offering pieces that allow for transformation according to individual desires and needs. Designers Marko Šabarić and Tomislav Kliškinić have reimagined their signature aesthetic, skillfully manipulating materials like cold wool, velvet, and gabardine to create bold, harmonious silhouettes.
Among the collection's standout features is the inclusion of Sabant's Gin skin™, a plant-based leather crafted from the byproducts of gin production. This eco-friendly material perfectly aligns with Klisab's commitment to sustainability and innovation, providing a high-quality alternative to traditional leather.
Three of the twelve looks in the FALLFALL8 collection incorporate Gin skin™, demonstrating its versatility and potential for creative application:

The collaboration between Sabant and Klisab is rooted in a common goal: challenging the status quo and redefining what's possible in sustainable fashion. By incorporating Gin skin™ into their designs, Klisab has not only created visually striking pieces but also taken a significant step towards reducing the environmental impact of leather production.
As Tamara Vučetić, co-founder of Sabant, explains, "Partnering with forward-thinking brands like Klisab allows us to showcase the incredible potential of our plant-based leather alternatives. Together, we're proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand."
The success of the Sabant x Klisab collaboration highlights the growing demand for sustainable materials in the fashion industry. As consumers become increasingly conscious of the environmental and ethical implications of their fashion choices, plant-based leather alternatives like Gin skin™ offer a compelling solution.
By repurposing waste from the alcohol industry, Sabant is not only reducing the carbon footprint of leather production but also promoting a circular economy model. This innovative approach to material sourcing and production sets the stage for a more sustainable future in fashion.
The Sabant x Klisab collaboration marks an exciting milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable fashion industry. By integrating Gin skin™ into their FALLFALL8 collection, Klisab has demonstrated the creative possibilities of plant-based leather alternatives, while Sabant has showcased the scalability and potential of their innovative material.
As we continue to push the boundaries of sustainable fashion, partnerships like this serve as a powerful reminder of the incredible results that can be achieved through collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to creating a greener future.
