A deeper connection to materials, Mother Earth, and ultimately to ourselves

Our new Pinatex® 2020 Collection

Why you’ll love it

We are thrilled to share this bag using the innovative new material called PIÑATEX® –  a leather alternative made from pineapple leaf fibers. It is vegan, cruelty free, and sustainable. PIÑATEX® is tough, breathable and water resistant. This material is made from pineapple leaves.

The long fibers are extracted through a process called decortication, which is done at the plantation by the farming community. Ananas Anam has developed the first automated decorticating machine to assist with this process, allowing farmers to utilize greater quantities of their waste leaves. Once the leaves have been stripped of fiber, the leftover biomass can be used as a nutrient-rich, natural fertilizer or a biofuel, so nothing is wasted. This material has low environmental impact, high social responsibility, and we feel is an excellent choice for the future. 

We hope you fall in love with the PIÑATEX Vida bags, and that this collection fosters a love within you for the Philippines, where this material comes from.  The Vida is their signature bag because of its simplicity, beauty, and versatility.  All Vida bags function as a cross body, a fanny pack, and a clutch.  It is the ultimate companion for living a hands free life.
