Description
This beautiful accessory pouch or pencil case is made from apple leather with a silver emblem on the zipper. Apple Leather is a bio-based material, meaning that it is partly biological: natural organic. In the Tyrol region of northern Italy, an enormous amount of apples are grown. These apples are pulverised into delicious juice, and made into jams. When making juice or jam the seeds, stalks and skins of apples can't be used. Before apple leather came to be, these left-overs were simply discaded, unuseable by the industry. Today, they are collected and turned into a fashionable material. The left-overs are crushed and then naturally dried into a fine powder. This powder is blended with a kind of resin that is essentially dried and laid flat into a final material - apple leather. The product is 100% Made in Italy certified, guaranteeing the authenticity and meticulous craftsmanship of these products. Made entirely by hand by artisans in the sector, they are the expression of a timeless cultural tradition. Dimensions: 19cm x 12cm
