MATERIAL

"Produced as an alternative to animal skin, apple skin is a bio-based material made using pulp and peel leftover from the juice and compote industry. Originating from the Bolzano region in northern Italy, this material begins production by pulverizing recycled apple waste.

After processing, they are sent to a factory in Florence, where the cotton-weighted back weaving is made. The result is a durable yet soft leather material.

One of the most important aspects of using apple waste is that it is a completely renewable resource. Significantly reduces the CO2 impact compared to artificial leather made from 100% fossil fuels. While it is the least harmful material in terms of water and carbon footprint, it does not contain any toxic chemicals and is hypoallergenic.

What makes apple skin even more special is that the renewable resource is also from a natural waste stream. Apple pulp from cider factories is classified as special waste and in most cases ends up in landfills or, in some cases, is incinerated as fuel. We prefer to use this waste, which will be wasted, in our revolutionary products."

Prev stands for "Plant" and "Revolution", so you can guess what this brand excels in.

Eco-friendly: Many plant-based alternatives to leather use PU or other oil-based materials. Prev dares to innovate and uses materials such as apple leather, but also lesser-known vegan leather alternatives such as a material made from olives or tea waste.

Fair & local production: Prev's items are made in small Turkish factories under good working conditions.

Vegan: All products from Prev are vegan-proof.
