Alternative Leather Bags

Lab-grown leather is taking the luxury fashion world by storm, and Paris-based innovator Faircraft is leading the charge. The company recently closed a €15-million Series A funding round and revealed its first handbag crafted from its groundbreaking material. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in ethical fashion and sustainable design.

Faircraft's lab-grown leather mimics the texture, look, and even the signature smell of traditional leather, thanks to its cellular growth process adapted from pharmaceutical research. The innovative material offers a sustainable alternative that emits 90% fewer carbon emissions, generates 95% less waste, and cuts water usage by 80% compared to conventional leather.

The debut handbag, made by Parisian artisans using traditional tanning techniques, embodies the blend of cutting-edge science and time-honored craftsmanship. Faircraft’s commitment to environmental stewardship and luxury quality provides a compelling story for high-end brands looking to innovate and improve their carbon footprint.
