LAC™ Committed to never using leather, feathers, fur or skins since 2001, we are continually investing in research and development for animal leather alternatives. In 2022, Liliana Alaimo launched the world’s first-ever luxury patent leather bag crafted from Cicero – a verified vegan alternative to animal leather made using mycelium, the root-like structures of fungi. This pioneering material innovation is grown in a lab by our long-term partner, Bolt Threads.
