From Corn Husk to Craftsmanship: The Journey of LeafyLeather
Introduction
Introduction Ever wondered what happens to the humble corn husk after harvest? At LeafyLeather, we turn it into something beautiful, durable, and fashion-forward. Let us take you behind the scenes of our process—from farm waste to functional material.
Step 1:
Collecting Agricultural Waste We begin with sourcing corn husks and banana stems—byproducts often discarded or burned. Our partnerships with local farmers ensure a consistent and sustainable supply.
Step 2:
Natural Fiber Extraction & Treatment These materials are processed using eco-friendly methods to extract fibers and pulp, which are then blended with bio-additives to create a flexible and strong base.
Step 3:
To mimic the luxurious feel of leather, we apply a plant-compatible coating that gives texture and durability. We use minimal PU only where necessary, constantly working toward more biodegradable options.
Step 4:
Every sheet of LeafyLeather undergoes strict quality control before it’s turned into bags, accessories, or upholstery materials by our design partners.
Conclusion It’s not just about making leather—it's about transforming waste into wonder. LeafyLeather is more than a product. It's a movement toward circular design and conscious creation.
