Panerai style band in Marina Blue Pinatex

Bio-based Pineapple Fibers Leather, also called Pinatex, is vegan alternative to natural leather made from animal skin. It is made of the waste leaves of a pineapple. This material is used to make various products, including wallets, bags, wristwatch straps, shoes, jackets, coats, shirts, and many more things. It is a vegan material that is sustainably sourced and doesn't contain any chemicals which are harmful to humans. Pinatex is soft, flexible, strong, durable, lightweight, and it can be easily embroidered, stitched, and cut into various shapes. In fact it is more sustainable than genuine leather made from animal skin.

This leather is not only water-resistant and versatile but has also passed international standard tests of ISO about seam rupture, tear, and abrasion-resistant, tensile strength, and colorfastness. These luxurious-looking wristwatch straps are charming to the touch, with excellent protection from wrinkling and pilling. The leather also has resistance to mildew and moths. Pinatex leather shouldn't be exposed to direct sunlight or U.V. for longer because the U.V. radiation or rays from sunlight can make the leather lose its color. Pinatex leather has low elasticity, thermal stability, and heat resistance. The straps made from Pinatex are not only unique because of leather properties but are also aesthetic and elegant.
