A new range of vegan Apple Watch straps have been unveiled by Mezando to offer consumers an alternative that is more in line with their lifestyle preferences. The straps are made with Piñatex, which is a natural leather alternative made using cellulose fibers that have been extracted from pineapple leaves to eliminate the need for any synthetic or animal-sourced components. The use of Piñatex makes use of the waste product created by agriculture business, which sees roughly 13 million tonnes of leaves being discarded after harvesting to put a focus on sustainable design.
The vegan Apple Watch straps are the design work of Feramez Durmus for Mezando and have been created in an array of style options that match any size of the wearable.
