What are Plant-Based Leathers? And why conscious women are choosing them?

So, what exactly is plant based leather?

Plant-based leather is crafted from renewable natural sources like cactus, apple skins, pineapple leaves, and mulberry bark. At Alkeme Atelier, we use microfiber leather and vegan leather derived from plants, offering a luxurious touch without the environmental toll of animal hides.

Unlike synthetic PU or PVC leather, high-grade plant-based leather feels supple, wears well, and is crafted with lower carbon emissions, reduced water usage, and no cruelty.

Why conscious women are embracing it?

Today’s modern woman is discerning—not just about how things look, but how they’re made.

She chooses plant-based leather because:

•  It reflects her values: Sustainable choices are no longer fringe—they’re personal power.
•  It feels luxurious without compromise: She doesn’t trade ethics for elegance.
•  It’s part of a more conscious life: One where her wardrobe, wellness, and world view align.

Choosing plant-based leather isn’t a trend—it’s a statement of self-respect, care for the planet, and reverence for all life.

The Alkeme Atelier Philosophy

Each Alkeme bag is a reflection of this belief. Our materials are thoughtfully sourced, our designs are sculptural and patent-protected, and for every bag sold, a tree is planted. This is fashion not just for the body—but for the soul.
