This innovative material is a true Italian gem, born from a virtuous process that transforms the by-products of giant bamboo cultivation in Italy into a sustainable and durable leather alternative. Thanks to our collaboration with Forever Bambù, an Italian Benefit Company committed to regenerative reforestation, this approach allows us to create a flexible, resistant material with a very low environmental impact, significantly reducing the use of water, energy, and virgin resources.
Between November and February, bamboo canes are harvested and stacked in a dedicated area. Over 3-4 months, the sun, wind, and time naturally reduce the moisture content from 50% to 15%, drying them spontaneously and shedding the leaves.
By June, the dried canes are shredded into small pieces (ranging from half a centimeter to 2-3 cm). A second milling phase transforms them into uniform chips about 4-5 mm long, which are then further micronized to a fine powder of just 0.1 mm.
This bamboo powder is mixed with polyurethane (PU) and applied to a tear-resistant cotton fabric. After being heated to create a durable, weather-resistant material, the fabric is embossed to give it elegant surface textures.
