Mylo Leather Grown from Mycelium

You know us for pioneering Microsilk™ technology. Now, we bring you Mylo™ – the world’s first commercially available take on modern leather grown from mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms.

Beginning this week, you can see the material on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum's exhibit Fashioned from Nature.  There, we'll be showcasing our collaborations with Stella McCartney, including The Mylo™ Falabella Prototype One and the Microsilk™ bodysuit and parachute pants from her 2017 Paris Fashion Week runway show.
