About AppleSkin Vegan Leather
The Classic Vegan models use AppleSkin - a sustainable vegan leather made from apple waste (the skins and cores left over from juice production in Italy). It is soft, durable, and visually indistinguishable from conventional leather, with a significantly lower environmental impact. A meaningful choice for buyers who want Swiss craftsmanship without animal products.
