Question

What environmentally friendly alternatives to leather, PVC and PU that are available?

We are looking for alternatives to leather, PVC, PU, and vinyl for handbags and costume jewelry.

This is for a large company so even suggestions of manufacturers that are in the development stage would be great.

Thanks!

I could tell you, but then you'd have to hire me or I'd have to charge you a huge fee for my outside consulting services.

Okay, I'll let you in on this wonderful new product making a killing around the world.

Can you say, "Cotton?" Or Hemp? Or any other plant that could be made into fabric?
