Liverpool Fashion Weeks 2018

AndReal aims to bring an innovative and sustainable method to design accessories using a mix of leather, vegetable tanned leather and cork that combines the traditional with the eco-friendliness of reusable materials to high end fashion.  We also aim to raise awareness and educate on how to integrate reusable materials 

 Cork leather is a sustainable material made from the bark of the cork oak tree. As a textile, it stands out thanks to its high-durability and a unique look. Due to its features such as being scratch-resistant, stain resistant, and easy to maintain, it is a perfect alternative to animal leather 

   Vegetable-tanned leather 

 is leather that has been tanned using tannins from tree bark, wood, leaves, fruits, and the like. It typically takes about two weeks to tan hides with this method. Veg tan can come in a variety of tempers, but is generally hard wearing and has excellent tooling.
