Leap® for SLG, Bags & Accessories
Leap is a 91% biobased material made from apple waste. Proven by leading SLG brands across Europe.
Performance & durability
We did the testing, so you don’t have to. Leap® is independently validated for tensile strength, tear resistance, flex endurance, and colorfastness — the properties that matter in bags and small leather goods.
Tensile Strength
Up to 18 MPa (longitudinal) — ISO 3376:2020. Strong enough for handles, straps, and structural panels.
Request ↓Tear Strength
Up to 44 N (double edge) — ISO 3377-2:2016. Resists tearing at stress points like zip attachments and seams.
Request ↓Flex Resistance
No damage at 50,000 flexes (dry & wet). Proven durability for daily-use bags and accessories over years of use.
