Luxury and high-street brands alike are embracing mycelium leather, bringing exciting products to the market:

• Stella McCartney’s Frayme Mylo™ Bag – The iconic designer introduced one of the first luxury handbags made entirely from mushroom leather. It’s chic, durable, and a big step towards sustainable fashion.

• Adidas Stan Smith Mylo™ Trainers – These classic trainers got an eco-upgrade with a mycelium-based upper, offering the same stylish design but with a significantly lower carbon footprint.

• Even the world of high fashion is embracing fungi! A high-fashion house collaborated with MycoWorks to craft an elegant version of their  bag, proving that sustainability and luxury can go hand in hand.

Practical Uses Beyond Fashion

Mycelium leather isn’t just for fashion—it has practical applications in everyday life:
• Upholstery – Designers are using mushroom leather for furniture, offering a sustainable, biodegradable alternative to traditional materials.
• Car Interiors – Car manufacturers are exploring mycelium leather for seats and dashboards, reducing reliance on animal leather and synthetic plastics.
• Tech Accessories – From laptop sleeves to phone cases, mycelium leather provides a stylish and eco-friendly solution for everyday gadgets.

With its durability, sustainability, and luxurious feel, mushroom leather is proving that fashion and function don’t have to cost the earth. Expect to see even more mycelium-based products in the near future!
