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.

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.
Partly bio-based and partly fossil fuel-derived to increase durability.
Made of mostly apple waste and other eco-friendly ingredients.
A Tencel backing that fulfills our high sustainability and performance standards.
Leap™ is created by Beyond Leather in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Inspired by the challenge to turn leather-making into a sustainable practice, we discovered the beauty in apple waste.
We apply our partners’ input in our development from the Leap™ look, feel, and performance to it’s end-of-life, because we listen.
We believe a fresh start and close communication is the only way forward in leather making.
