After apples, mushrooms, and even spider webs, it’s time to make way for a new sustainable, ethical, and vegan alternative to traditional textiles: grapes.
These vegan materials made from grapes are increasingly being used by the fashion industry to limit its impact on the planet. But how are they developed? Italian company VEGEA, a specialist in the field, has joined forces with wine-growing estates to recycle wine waste, such as the marc (skins, pulp, seeds and stems) of grapes. Everything that is not used in the production of wine is recovered, then transformed and made available to the fashion industry.
