#13: Revolutionizing Leather

While wearing leather has always been considered fashionable, many people refuse to be part of an industry that harms helpless animals and so refuse to wear real leather. There are many fabrics and materials out there similar to leather, but nothing looks and feels quite like the real thing.

These two entrepreneurs from Mexico created organic “leather” made from cactus leaves, that can potentially save billions of animals killed for and by the fashion industry.
