On our national French TV news this evening was an article about wallets made from mushrooms. Naturally I took an interest in the possibilities for organisers. They showed the wallets to people in the street and they seemed surprised when they were told what the wallets had been made from. It has been used on training shoes and bags as well.
Whilst leather is very hard wearing and lasts years if treated correctly. People that are vegan might prefer something that doesn't come from an animal.
I found this article https://textilefocus.com/mushroom-sustainable-textile-fiber/ in English.
Currently the Filofax 'Faux-Leather' range uses plastic or recycled plastic, at some stage it has come from oil or similar.
From what I've read the production of mushroom fibre is organic and at the end of its practical life it can be recycled/composted.
If you prefer non-leather organisers, would you buy one made from alternatives such as mushroom fibre?
