Leather

Since our apple leather debut in 2021, we’ve continued exploring innovative materials. This time, we introduce corn leather—thoughtfully developed as another vegan alternative for the modern, intentional wardrobe.

About Corn Leather

Corn leather is a bio-based material made primarily from corn starch fibres—corn starch, a byproduct of agriculture, is transformed into polylactic acid fibres via microbial fermentation, then blended with polyurethane to form this durable fabric. This vegan-friendly material is 53% bio-based.

Durable
Corn starch fibres are valued for their durability and mechanical strength. When enhanced with polyurethane, they form a resilient corn leather fabric that’s ideal for crafting our bags. Corn leather is long-lasting and highly durable when cared for properly—just like traditional animal-based leathers.
53% bio-based
Our corn leather is partially made from renewable materials. It has a 53% bio-based carbon content rating, which indicates the percentage of the material that is sourced from plants or animal products. In our case, 53% of its composition comes from renewable sources like agricultural byproducts in the corn industry.
Vegan-friendly
The corn leather we use is vegan-friendly—crafted from naturally-derived corn starch fibres and polyurethane, with no animal-based materials involved.
Easy to care for
Corn leather is low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way. Keep your bag out of direct sunlight and store it in its dust bag when not in use.

To clean, gently wipe the surface with a lightly damp cloth and let it dry naturally. If you're using any leather cleaners or conditioners, perform a patch test on a discreet spot first to ensure compatibility.

FAQs

What is corn leather?

Corn leather is a bio-based material made primarily from corn starch fibres. These fibres, also known as polylactic acid fibres, are derived from real corn through the microbial fermentation of corn starch—a byproduct of agriculture.

Corn starch fibres are valued for their durability and mechanical strength. When enhanced with polyurethane, they form a resilient corn leather fabric that’s ideal for crafting our bags. Corn leather also replicates the look and texture of animal leather.

Is corn leather vegan?

The corn leather we use is vegan-friendly—crafted from naturally-derived corn starch fibres and polyurethane, with no animal-based materials involved.

How durable is corn leather?

When cared for properly, corn leather is long-lasting and highly durable—just like traditional animal-based leathers. Its lasting strength lies in the natural durability of corn starch fibres, and the reinforcing properties of polyurethane.

How do I maintain and care for corn leather?

We recommend cleaning the corn leather surface with a lightly dampened cloth and allowing it to dry naturally.

If you're considering any chemical cleaners or conditioners, we advise to always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.

What are some other ways corn leather is used?

Corn leather is also used to produce clothing, footwear, and food packaging.

Is corn leather made from renewable ingredients?

Our corn leather is partially made from renewable materials. It has a 53% bio-based carbon content rating, which indicates the percentage of the material that is sourced from plants or animal products. In our case, 53% of its composition comes from renewable sources like agricultural byproducts in the corn industry.

Is corn leather waterproof?

While durable, corn leather is not waterproof. To help preserve its quality, keep your product dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.

Can I eat corn leather?

Don’t be fooled by the name—our corn leather isn’t edible. It may look good enough to snack on, but we promise it won’t taste like your favourite corn on the cob!
