PINATEX® is a natural, innovative material, made from the by-product of the pineapple harvest and agricultural waste. Peta Approved, Piñatex is a plant-based alternative to leather and petroleum-based textiles, it contains no animal derivatives. Gathered by socially responsible farming cooperatives in the Philippines, no extra land, water, fertiliser or pesticides are required to produce the raw material. Being a natural material, variations may appear over time. Further information and care instructions can be found on the manufacturer’s website.
