AS SEEN ON

Even though Mela’s plant-based leather products are not edible, they do have a yummy look and feel. More importantly, they are picking up the planet one purse strap at a time. Production of Mela’s apple-derived vegan leather goods and accessories involves upcycling a renewable resource. This carries a much lower environmental impact, which is pretty delicious!
