Leather Fiber Material
"Every year, hundreds of thousands of tons of pre-consumer
leather offcuts
are set aside. Not because they are without value
because no material existed
to give them a life worth having."
Raw leather fibers · before transformation
The origin
Tanneries produce extraordinary raw material. Only the center of each hide reaches the standards demanded by fashion and luxury. The rest, pre-consumer offcuts of leather, disappear.
PELINOVA® was born from a single question: what if those fibers could be reimagined, not as a substitute for leather, but as something entirely new?
Entangled by high-pressure water, without chemical binders, without PVC and combined with TENCEL™ Lyocell, PELINOVA® gives the fibers a second life as a certified material in its own right.
Not an alternative. A category.
