Growing Leather: Make Vegan Leather With Kombucha


Quote:

Kombucha leather differs from traditional vegan leather because it is not
synthetically based like plastic. It is instead biologically based, from bacteria and yeast. Due to its biodegradable nature, it’s great for shorter-life projects like wallets, shoes, clothing, costumes, and cosplay. For anything that doesn’t need to last decades, kombucha will do. As a bonus, at the end of the product’s lifecycle it can be thrown in the compost.
The article has some "interesting" pictures of the process.

I used to make Kambucha so I had my family of SCOBYs. But the idea of making clothing out of this seems a little ooogy.

Personally, I don't understand why anyone who is vegan would want to wear something that looks like leather.

Check out the article for some laughs.

I am reminded of Silence of the Lambs

Looks like the Borg queen. Also they make no mention of what toxic products being used to color the tofu.

We used to drink that crap till we realized it was crap!! :doh::oops:

I would not say it was crap. It has a taste that not everyone enjoys.



I liked it. But since I was the only one who drank it, a batch often went to waste as I could not finish it all by myself.

Dare I say it!! :yep:
It was better than beer!! :O:
