In order to create an alternative to the leather from animals, Adrián López Velarde and Marte Cázarez, both from Mexico, developed a skin made from the fruit of cactus. They presented their product successfully last October 2019 in Milan, Italy. After two years of research, both men found a way to make vegan leather in July 2019. Its trade name is “Desserto” and it has competitive characteristics compared to animal or synthetic leather.
