Sustainable fashion brand Rashki, has partnered with Banofi Leather to introduce India’s first-ever range of handbags made from banana leather, a sustainable alternative to animal leather, made from banana crop waste.
The Banofi team has found an innovative way to convert banana crop waste into a robust leather alternative which in turn led to some joint R&D and trials, leading to the culmination of this range of plant-based leather handbags.
The products, priced in the range of INR 2,000 - INR 10,000 shall be available on www.rashki.com initially and later across marketplaces such as Myntra, Nykaa Fashion and Amazon.
Last year French luxury brand Hermes, a leading end leather manufacturer used a leather alternative made out of mushroom for their luxury handbag Victoria.
Closer home, Kanpur based Phool announced a range of bags in partnership with PVH Corporation (parent company of Tommy Hilfiger & Calvin Klien) which will be made with Fleather, an interesting animal leather alternative made from flower waste.
