Hermès x MycoWorks

WHAT WE SAY:

For nearly 200 years, Hermès has sold some of the world’s most iconic, opulent and expensive handbags, made from leather or other exotic animals.

So it was a hugely welcome signal when the brand announced its collaboration with Mycoworks, on its Victoria duffel bag, made from Sylvania – a custom-made mycelium-based leather alternative. We just wish they had not incorporated calfskin into the same bag, which undermines the whole concept somewhat.
