Stella McCartney has just launched a line of handbags made from new-age mushroom leather.
This is the first time that a product crafted from mycelium, a vegan leather substitute made from the root-like structure in mushrooms, has been available commercially. McCartney, who is a pioneer of sustainable and animal-friendly high fashion, has partnered with biotechnology company Bolt Threads to design the Frayme Mylo bag, which retails at £1995.
