Story
Luxury brands around the world focused on sustainable plant-based fashion,
because around 1 billion animals are killed in the leather market every year.
Taiwan has a lot of abandoned pineapple leaves, they can be leather alternatives!
Pineapple leaves are agricultural waste.
We have nearly 630,000 tons of abandoned pineapple leaves every year.
What if we can make good use of such waste?
OhGio uses up-cycled local pineapple leaves to produce valuable products
which successfully reduces agricultural waste.
This may bring extra income for local farmers
and creates Eco-friendly Vegan Alternatives to Substitute for Animal Leather.
Furthermore,
OhGio combines Traditional Embroidery designs in pineapple leaf wallets, the
variety of stitches used add an elegant touch to our products.
Since the sustainable manufacturing procedure is 100% in Taiwan,
it reduces Carbon Footprint.
This may as well support local economies
by creating more work opportunities on the island.
