Bio-Based Materials

Sonora’s materials are cactus derived bio-based vegan leather created on a ranch in Zacatecas, Mexico. Nopal Cacti have elephant ear-shaped cactus pads that can be cut singly and harvested every 6-8 months, without killing the plant. The material are then broken down, dried and pressed with organic bio-resin dyes. The material has a high tensile strength and is highly abrasive resistant compared to animal leathers. The material is naturally soft and highly durable and guaranteed to last a long time with proper care. Bio-base plant materials like cactus are very sustainable because they require low amounts of water and no fertilizer to thrive.
