While its closest comparison is leather, calling it so does it a disservice. LOVR is its own thing. Made from leftover hemp stalks, this single layer, single-ingredient material is non-toxic, plastic-free and home compostable, and goes back to the soil after use. It has an impressively wide range of uses in automotive interiors, furniture, fashion and footwear, and the company is already working with big names in each of these fields. Our one wish is that it was further along its scalability journey than it is, but we expect that to change pretty swiftly.
