Hermès in collaboration with a sustainable innovation company that develops alternative materials, has created the first bag using mycelium, the vegetative apparatus of mushrooms.
Through a biotechnological approach, a patented technology has been developed that enhances and strengthens the natural material as it grows, guaranteeing high quality standards as an alternative to animal skin.
The circular material is then tanned and finished by Hermès for refinement and shaping.
