Pineapple leaves, thick and hard, for the majority of food, this is an extremely troublesome existence, hate can not be quickly cut, far away, in case it is punctured by its fingers. If at this time Xiaobian tells you that pineapple leaves can make shoes, will you think it is a fantasy in front of the screen?

Not long ago, the German fashion group Hugo Boss released the latest men's shoes, the raw materials used are derived from the natural fiber Piñatex of pineapple leaves.

It is understood that Piñatex is a natural fiber extracted from the pineapple leaves by British textile company Ananas Anman, and its texture is very similar to leather. However, the production process of Piñatex fiber is different from traditional leather, and it does not use toxic chemicals and heavy metals to avoid harm to the environment and production workers.

On this basis, Hugo Boss became the first fashion group to use pineapple leaf extract Piñatex as a raw material, demonstrating the company's commitment to using more sustainable ingredients. Because pineapple fiber does not contain any animal by-products, it can be described as the best substitute for leather products. At the same time, the discarded pineapple leaves will be turned into treasure, achieving the goal of double-edged.

It is reported that the upper part of Hugo Boss' new shoes is made of Piñatex, and the fabric is dyed with natural vegetable dyes. Made from recycled TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), the soles are “vegan” from beginning to end, available in four colors and in fully recyclable and biodegradable carton packs.

With the rise of the “vegan” trend in the fashion industry, more and more companies have joined the ranks of “vegan”. It is also known that the fashion brand Vaute Couture has also begun to develop a new series of products using Piñatex pineapple leaf fiber fabric.
