You all know how much I love the idea of mushrooms replacing plastic packaging, mushrooms that eat plastics, and mushrooms as a meat substitute, but what about mushrooms as a high-end handbag by Hermés?
Interested? Read on about how Hermés in conjunction with MycoWorks is using fine mycelium to create a vegan bag. The possibilities are endless!

Well I’ll be, that looks like a handbag I’d be proud to wear! Good on Hermès going this route (root) and it looks like Gucci may do this as well. It would go a great way to reducing the need/greed for eg crocodile bags and shoes, wallets etc. Great post Pam! xx

Amazing, Pam! Solutions do exist. We’ve just got to look for them. Though I must admit that I’ve never imagined mushrooms as a leather substitute.

Nor I, Ros. So versatile though to go from being a substitute for plastic to a substitute for leather!👏

Hi Pam – there’s so much science going on, and I so enjoy reading and learning about the research that’s looking at all aspects. I certainly didn’t know about the Hermes bag or the company MycoWorks … so interesting to read up about – loved it, thank you – Hilary

Wouldn’t it be great to have a faux leather substitute, Hilary? No more terrible chemicals from tanning leather. No more using gazillions of gallons of water to raise the cow. So much easier in the environment!

We are living in an age, when scientists and researchers seem to be able to find out some incredible initiatives … and yes re the gazillion gallons of water … we don’t need to lose that precious resource … cheers Hilary
