MycoWorks | CBS Mornings - Mushrooms Used as Animal Leather Alternative @MycoWorks | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 19 hours ago.
“A future where guilt-free fashion could be the norm.” CBS Mornings reporter Lilia Luciano recently visited MycoWorks, where our co-founder Sophia Wang introduced her to Reishi™, our premium natural material that has the strength and durability of cowhide leather and is customizable, too.
"You can't grow a cow to spec," says MycoWorks co-founder Sophia Wang. "Cows just do what they do. So, that is what's remarkable about a natural material that you can grow to form."
"I believe people are ready for changes, they're ready for innovation. For me, combining old techniques with biomaterials is an incredible opportunity,” says Beatrice Amblard, a leather artisan with four decades of experience who partners with MycoWorks.
