Leap®
made by
Beyond Leather

Leap® is upcycled apple waste turned into a plant-based leather alternative.


Why use cows when you can use apples?

It's easier to use leftover apples

Leap® is a plant-based leather alternative with every quality of traditional leather but more beautiful.
Born by upcycling apple waste discarded in cider production, Leap® naturally saves time, energy and resources.

Our roadmap will show how we at Beyond Leather see a future made of food waste.

Today Leap® uses 84% bio-based ingredients, tomorrow we're working towards 100%, because the future of leather alternative is plant-based.

Discover the future
of materials

We stay authentic to our raw material by refusing to add anything that’s not necessary. Therefore, we only use a small amount of fossil fuel-derived ingredients, because it’s necessary to find a balance between performance and sustainability.

Our roadmap leads us to a 100% natural and waste-based leather alternative in the future.
