Pangaia and Natural Fiber Welding have teamed up to launch the 'Air Gilet,' a unique new puffer vest that offers some of the aesthetics and functional advantages of leather but happens to be completely free of animal products, instead making use of plant-based technologies.
The inside of the 'Air Gilet' puffer vest is lined with organic cotton fleece and stuffed with Natural Fiber Welding's unique plant-based leather alternative known as 'FLWRDOWN.'
Priced at $800, the 'Air Gilet' puffer vest is truly a revolutionary product that manages to offer both eyecatching style and reliable functionality with the use of plant-based leather.
It's no coincidence that both Pangaia as well as Natural Fiber Welding are members of the Plastic Free Collective, which brings together businesses who are serious about spearheading and utilizing plastic alternatives. It follows that this stylish puffer vest is a fine example of how sustainability-minded collectives can bring together businesses who can collaborate on products for the greater good.
