Bucha delivers lab-made leather alternative for clean fashion

Bucha Bio is a company pushing the science envelope in ways that circumvent animals, with an innovative leather alternative that offers endless potential across the fashion industry.

As Bucha introduces the material to the market, it has partnered with independent artists and existing manufacturers to incorporate the product into a designer women's top as well as a pair of sneakers by Frecustoms, a London-based custom designer that requested the materials.

The newest proprietary process results in a plant-based leather that can be used for shoes, clothing, accessories and more.

Biomaterial manufacturing is the primary order of business at Bucha.

While the consumer sees the result, the work behind the material takes place in the lab, where the Bucha team has reduced the time needed to organically grow biomaterials at scale from months to weeks.
