# Cactus Bio-Leather Wallets Tumbao Offers Its Bio-Leather Wallets at an Affordable Price By Kalin Ned | Published 2020-10-08 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioleather-wallet References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tumbao/tumbao-bio-leather-accessories) Functionally compact and playfully chromatic in appearance, Tumbao's bio-leather wallets were certainly a hit—which is evident from the brand's [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-wallet) that exceeded its goal by about $3,000 CAD and with 22 days to go. As defined on the campaign, Tumbao has Latin-American origins. The phrase refers to "when something has an allure that captures the attention of those around it." The bio-leather wallets are made with [cactus-derived bio-leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercer-rerun-sneaker), which is sourced from Mexico and presents a more sustainable alternative. The wallets are durable—scratch-resistant and humidity-resistant—as well as easy to clean. In addition, Tumbao did not use any PVC or chromium—which is a toxic heavy metal that is used to tan traditional leathers. Consumers have the option to choose between three bio-leather wallet designs—the Toci Wallet, the Mayahuel Wallet, and the Coatlicue Wallet.
