Turning waste
into textiles
100% bio-based & animal free
Our material is a combination of biomass from existing agricultural industries and regenerative plant based ingredients.
Zero plastics
No PU, PVC, acrylic coatings, or nasties. Just plants.
Australian made
We are proudly manufactured in Australia from Australian ingredients.
Committed to circularity
ALT. Leather is designed with end-of-life in mind.
We source organic ingredients and apply a bio-formula that will not harm the earth. When our material eventually comes to the end of its life, it can be recycled, or ground down and returned to the ground where it came from :)
