Hermes Is Creating Bags Using Mushrooms | A Move To Sustainability?

Three years in the making, the collaboration between Hermès and MycoWorks marks the first object made with fine mycelium, and the development of a new material called ‘sylvania’ — produced in the MycoWorks facility. the interpretation of the ‘victoria’ bag has been tanned and finished in france by the Hermès tanners to further refine its strength and durability, before being shaped in the workshops by Hermès craftspeople. ‘the power of storytelling is key in any new technology or art,’ says matt scullin, MycoWorks CEO. ‘Hermès related to our story: that fine mycelium was rooted in artistic practice and craftsmanship. at the same time, Hermès recognized that MycoWorks’ unique biotechnology approach to enhancing a natural material meant that fine mycelium had the potential to be the highest quality mycelium in the world.’ My E-Book On Effective Ways To Learn About Fashion: https://www.thefashionarchivemag.com/shop SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fashionroadman/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@fashionroadman Twitter: https://twitter.com/fashionroadman #hermes #mushroomleather #mycelium
