A Crowdfunding Campaign To Help Produce Vegan Leather From Coconut Waste

Denise Quadros

As citizens of India, we’ve all been well versed and well aware of the ubiquitous use of Coconuts. It’s versatile nature and characteristics merges with many compounds and takes form of many shapes. This recent and profound innovation has given rise to leather sourced out from the Malai, the tender, mushy, creamy textured coating inside the coconut’s shell. A sole innovation of it’s own distinctive kind. This leather produced and sourced from agricultural waste and bio compostable material from the coconut industry located from India’s very own, God’s own Country - we all know as Kerala.

Malai has thus acquired a brand in itself by producing fashion accessories, footwear apparel and sustainable interior products. Their main aim is centred around delivering modern solutions through the use of alternative and sustainable production; which will aid the the pace for yielding these goods. In order to supply these goodies to the ever extending organic market clientele, many of the processes that go into the manufacturing of these products need mechanisation. Along with the manual work process, it is of overriding importance that these processes should be automated for seamless quality design and to increase the overall production capacity. To support this initiative, Malai has set up a crowdfunding campaign to gather a whole sum of 15,000 Euros with an incentive of giving back and appreciating the support, through assorted accessories. Either way it’s a win win and you get to cop some of that fine organic and one of a kind coconut accessory. It’s certified that all of the proceeds go into the production and making of the products. In order to flourish and expand its horizons in terms of production and manifesting itself in the market.
