INNOVATIVE FABRICS
PLANT FABRIC - CORN LEATHER
Corn leather has been a staple of the Alexandra K collection for several seasons. We value it for its durability, quality, and appearance. Made from 75% corn pulp, it is a remarkable achievement in sustainable fashion. Most of our materials are produced in Italy by a company with a long tradition of quality. The manufacturer holds numerous certifications, including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and OHSAS 18001, confirming its commitment to sustainability and safety. We are proud to use corn leather in our handbags, jackets, and footwear, and believe it is a powerful example of how fashion can be both stylish and durable.
