Leather Substitute Uppeal™
Innovative Craftsmanship Meets Sustainable Practices
Our journey of sustainability and innovation begins in the landscapes of South Tyrol, Italy, where the raw materials for our plant-based leather substitute, Uppeal, are harvested. This journey continues in a state-of-the-art facility in Tuscany, where tradition meets modern technology.
Since 1978, our dedicated manufacturer has specialized in the production of high-quality artificial leather. Today, they leverage the latest technological advancements to transform these raw materials into Uppeal, the cutting-edge, eco-friendly and plastic free leather alternative.
