The Cactus Leather Sling Bag | Pepper

No pesticides. Nopales. In collaboration with Desserto®. we took our best-selling sling bag and remade it with organically sourced prickly pear cactus. The Desserto® textile is our first plant-based material to be used as a leather alternative. Why cactus? It has a great CO2 sequestering capacity and acts like a natural carbon sink. while using zero irrigation and naturally regenerating soil. Plus. 50% of the byproduct is used to feed cattle. It’s a cruelty-free. sustainable material without any of the toxic chemicals. phthalates. and PVC that conventional leather has.
