Looking to capitalize on the latest developments in green, sustainable leather alternatives, Herm\u00e8s saw an opportunity that many would overlook: Mycelium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commonly known as mushrooms, mycelium has opened the door to much hubbub surrounding material science, with particular interest in the world of fashion materials. When treated properly in a patent-protected process, this material shows the strength and durability of leather by using lab-grown spores to bond the material into a pliable membrane.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The need for leather alternatives is becoming ominously clear lately, as companies and societies make concerted efforts to reduce environmental impacts within their respective fields. Leather creation is a very labor and cost inefficient process, to say nothing of the environmental impact from chemical tanning that makes up the bulk of this issue. And while plastic-based vegan leather alternatives have existed since the explosion of plastic use in the 1940\u2019s and 50\u2019s, mycelium shows great promise in making plastic leathers a thing of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>MycoWorks<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A little known California based start-up, MycoWorks is the company behind this latest initiative. Founded by Philip Ross and Sophia Wang, MycoWorks has been a clear leader dedicated to bringing mycelium materials to industries the world over. After an astounding Series-B financing round in 2020, the company is positioning itself to be the authority in specifically the mycelium leather space. With several major fashion brands clamoring for a piece of the pie, all eyes will be on MycoWorks to see this development come to widespread adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is certainly already competition in the space. Both Stella McCartney and Kering Group have invested in rivals to MycoWorks, further indicating the potential breadth of this burgeoning industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a statement about the new partnership told to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/articles\/sustainability\/exclusive-hermes-bets-on-mushroom-leather\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business of Fashion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Herm\u00e8s artistic director Pierre-Alexis Dumas indicated:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMycoWorks\u2019 vision and values echo those of Herm\u00e8s: a strong fascination with natural raw material and its transformation, a quest for excellence, with the aim of ensuring that objects are put to their best use and that their longevity is maximised&#8230; With Sylvania, Herm\u00e8s is at the heart of what it has always been: innovation in the making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Herm\u00e8s will not replace any of their existing leathers with new mycelium alternatives, Sylvania shows strong potential to add even more materials to their existing repertoire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Victoria Bag<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first bag to be created using Sylvania leather is the staple travel bag: the Victoria Voyage. Fashioned in a combination of canvas, traditional leather, and Sylvania leather, this first foray into the plant-based leather sphere is sure to be on many collectors\u2019 shopping lists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A classic travel accessory, the Victoria seems a natural place to start. It will certainly be a formidable test of this material, as it will need to withstand the test of travel conditions, including weather, wear, and sun. It will be a real-world experiment to see how this material responds over time. Many of Herm\u00e8s\u2019 other leathers seem to have clout from how they wear well over time, so we will see quite readily if this material can garner the same romantic appeal of age.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Launch<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s has yet to release an official launch date or event, only mentioning that it will likely be released at some time in 2021. Nevertheless, as avid Herm\u00e8s collectors know, keep your eyes peeled at boutiques for this new and illusive piece of fashion history!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Images featured in this article are from Herm\u00e8s and photographer Coppi Barbieri.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|40px|0px|40px|false|false&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Canela-Thin||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;32px&#8221; header_3_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">You May Also Like&#8230;<\/h3>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blog fullwidth=&#8221;off&#8221; posts_number=&#8221;3&#8243; include_categories=&#8221;22&#8243; use_manual_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; excerpt_length=&#8221;0&#8243; show_author=&#8221;off&#8221; show_date=&#8221;off&#8221; show_categories=&#8221;off&#8221; show_excerpt=&#8221;off&#8221; offset_number=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Canela-Light|||on|||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;0.5px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.3em&#8221; meta_font=&#8221;Maison Book||||||||&#8221; meta_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; meta_text_color=&#8221;#999999&#8243; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1300px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;16px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_transition_duration=&#8221;0ms&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221;][\/et_pb_blog][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The brand synonymous with material exploration and innovation is yet again pushing forward into the next frontier of material science in handbags: mushroom leathers.
