Premium Vegan Leather Card Cases from AppleSkin-Reclaimed Mycelium

This compact card case transforms food waste into refined protection. Crafted by feeding mycelium with reclaimed apple pomace, this card holder transforms food waste into a bio-based leather alternative. The surface carries a subtle, natural grain—shaped by fermentation, not manufacturing. Designed for everyday carry, it keeps cards organized while adding a quiet material story to daily use.


Material Innovation & Circular Economy

Apple-reclaimed mycelium leather represents a breakthrough in sustainable card wallets. Most apple leather comes from the apple harvest within northern Italy, which repurposes apple waste from the juice industry. This eco-friendly card case transforms what would become landfill waste into durable, premium protection.

Material
Material

Apple recycled leather is a new sustainable material designed with environmental protection at its core. It is made by combining apple pomace fibers—leftovers from the juicing process—with eco-friendly base materials, then forming the mixture through high-temperature pressing and coating techniques. This process reduces industrial food waste while giving the material a unique natural texture and an elegant touch.

Through enhanced manufacturing technology, apple recycled leather offers:

  • Excellent abrasion resistance
  • Scratch resistance and durability
  • Easy-to-clean surfaces that resist stains
  • Long-lasting shape retention and color stability

These qualities ensure the material stays beautiful even with everyday use.

Care instructions
Care instructions

Apple recycled leather is easy to maintain. Simply wipe it with a soft dry cloth, and use a slightly damp cloth for light stains before letting it air-dry naturally. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol, solvents, or bleach. Although the material is water-resistant, do not soak it or expose it to high humidity; if it becomes wet, blot gently and dry in a cool, shaded place. Keep the surface away from sharp objects and avoid prolonged pressure to prevent deformation. Also ensure it is not exposed to direct sunlight, high temperatures, or heat sources, as these may cause discoloration or aging.

NATURE FROM NATURE TO

Made from Recycled Apple Fibers
