What is grape "leather" ?
Grape "leather" is an innovative alternative to leather. It is made from a technological process that transforms grape residu from the italian wine industry waste into a wearable material with leather-like properties. This is a real breakthrough because it has a much lower environmental impact than leather and is of course cruelty-free.

Why are our shoes better for the planet ?
We have looked at every single component of a shoe (over 20) found the most sustainable and 100% vegan alternatives made from recycled, natural and biobased materials.

Is grape "leather" as resistant as traditional leather ?
The CTC agency’s tests highlight the impressive durability of GrapesSkin™. With a tensile strength surpassing 35 N/5cm, it handles pulling forces with ease, and its tear strength, exceeding 125 N/5cm, ensures excellent resistance to damage. Additionally, the flexometry test demonstrates its remarkable flexibility, enduring over 100,000 bending cycles without compromise.

Will I be paying import taxes / duties?
No additional tax is payable for orders placed within the European Union. For the rest of the world and overseas, taxes may apply depending on customs policies. Shipments to countries outside the European Union may incur additional import, customs or customs duties that are beyond our control.
