As awareness of the toxicity of the materials used with the descriptor ‘vegan leather’ grew and wonderful innovator manufacturers started to develop leather-look alternatives made with plants not synthetic plastics, we stopped our jackets and accessories made with plastic leather-look materials.
We have focussed on introducing new and emerging sustainable organic fabrics in our products to the Australian market: cork leather fabric, washable paper, cotton and hemp.
Many of the organic fabrics are not yet of suitable dimensions to be used in the tailoring of apparel. The break-out fabric now is the plant-based leather-look fabric made from tomatoes - tomato leather.
James&Co is excited about tailoring our classic style leather alternative jackets and leather look accessories in tomato leather.
