MOGU Leather is a revolutionary line, comprising a range of materials and products exclusively consisting of fungal mycelium. MOGU Leather looks at a future where animals are not killed for human’s material desires. As opposed to traditional animal leather, MOGU Leather can be grown in rather short timeframes, with a limited amount of resources, and its production process is not wasteful. Some of the outstanding qualities of MOGU Leather include: strength, flexibility, breathability, water resistance, compostability, customizability and cost-competitiveness.
MOGU Leather is to be looked at as an alternative to traditional animal leather, though different as grown by fungi and by means of mycelium technology; a novel natural material with comparable experiential/tactile qualities to those of animal leather, promising to bring about a great material revolution, leading towards the establishment of a more ethically and environmentally responsible fashion industry.
