Wineleather - Wine Leather
From www.leather-dictionary.com - The Leather Dictionary
Wineleather - Wine Leather
In 2014 a company started a project to produce a material looking like leather out of the grape skins, stalks and seeds of wine grapes. The material didn’t contain any leather fibres. But the name of the material was chosen as “wineleather”. In 2017 the Italian Tanners Association UNIC interfered successfully to stop this name as the material is not leather. The product has been described as a totally ecological and 100% vegetable material. Expressions like wineleather or wine leather are not allowed to be used when the material is not genuine leather.
