Little known fact: it takes 2+ years to raise cows for their leather. Not to mention a massive amount of land, resources, and noxious chemicals it takes to get to the final material. Swipe to see how fungi are stepping in to create a more sustainable option in less time, with less land, and less of a burden on our planet.

HORSE POWER: The Winter 2023 runway introduced our Frayme Mylo™ mycelium handbag in a world-exclusive white, available only at Stella.
Mylo™ is a verified vegan alternative to animal leather made from mycelium, the root-like structures of fungi. This technology is innovated in partnership with Bolt Threads (@BoltThreads ), who we have collaborated with on over 5,000 iterations of the material. Lab-grown and biobased, its unique microstructure makes it more soft and supple, and it is significantly less harmful to Mother Earth compared to animal skins.
The Frayme Mylo™ in black is currently available to shop online and in-store, with the white arriving this August.
Bolt Threads is supported by S🌍S Fund — a $200M fund investing in the next generation of sustainable innovators, of which Stella is a cofounder.
