Klisab's FALLFALL8 Collection: Redefining Personal Style
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.

A Shared Vision for Sustainable Fashion
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 Future of Fashion: Plant-Based Leather
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.
