How we make it?
1
We collect the barley
Our journey begins with collecting the golden barley malt waste from our local brewery friends, once they’re done brewing their delightful concoctions.
2
Dehydration and milling
To prevent  mold from forming, the barley is dehydrated and milled into fine powder. One step closer to being ready for transformation!
3
Creating the materials
The fine powder is thoroughly processed in over 10 steps, one of these being the infusion of recycled cotton and polyester, which are UV and heat-resistant.
Customisation
Our material can have custom finishes, patterns, and colors. The color of the material is naturally dark, so  no additional  colorants are required! We have also developed a way to lighten the material so that a variety of colors can be applied.

And finally the most obvious characteristic of every material. All colors can be applied to all thicknesses, backings and grains.

Impact & sustainability
We recycle 98% of water used in our material production and means our material comes with approximately 50% less of a negative impact on the environment than fossil fuel based leather.
