About Cactus Leather:
An imported textile from Mexico formulated with organic prickly pear cactus and recycled ocean plastic backing.
Cactus plants are harvested by clipping the mature leaves which naturally replenish every 6-8 months. An irrigation system is not needed as the cactus plant feeds on natural rain water and minerals. Harvested material is dried in a solarium saving energy.
