Duffle & Co is launching its latest collection with a fruity twist, as the first label in New Zealand to offer pineapple leather in its range. Known as Piñatex, the chemical-free, zero-waste and vegan-friendly leather alternative is made from the cellulose fibres of discarded pineapple leaves – a byproduct of existing agriculture. The pineapple leather comes in the form of two handbag styles, including the Emily Crossbody, $219, pictured.
