We’ve been told for decades that innovation means synthetic, that progress is shiny, smooth, and man-made. But in fashion, the most exciting materials today aren’t coming from factories. They’re growing from the ground.

At Origyn, we’re reimagining luxury through a simple but powerful shift: plants, not plastic.

The Problem with the Old “Vegan Leather”
For years, “vegan leather” was a misleading promise. Many versions were simply plastic in disguise, made from petroleum-based materials like PU or PVC. These options may have been animal-free, but they came with a heavy environmental toll: microplastic pollution, chemical runoff, and a short lifespan that made them disposable.

That’s not the future we believe in.

From Living Systems to Living Design
Origyn’s plant-based leather handbags are crafted from MIRUM, a 100% bio-based plant-based leather. MIRUM captures the tactile elegance of traditional leather, but it's origins tell a very different story.

Unlike synthetic “vegan” leathers, MIRUM® contains zero polyurethane, zero PVC, and zero petrochemicals. It’s made from natural ingredients, including natural rubber, plant oils, and agricultural byproducts, that are carefully bound through a circular, closed-loop process. The result is a material that’s strong, flexible, and biodegradable at the end of its life.

In MIRUM®, science and soil work together. It’s the first luxury material that embodies both modern innovation and ancient wisdom, returning design to its organic roots. MIRUM proves that the next chapter of luxury isn’t about more, but better.

Why Plants Make Better Sense
Plants offer more than sustainability, they embody resilience, adaptability, and renewal. In a time when fashion waste is one of the planet’s largest pollutants, plant-based design gives us a way forward that doesn’t ask us to choose between beauty and conscience.

These are materials that breathe, age gracefully, and carry a warmth that synthetics can’t replicate. They remind us that innovation can be organic, that true progress often looks like returning to our roots.

The Beauty of What Grows
Origyn’s plant-based handbags made with MIRUM® aren’t just accessories; they’re expressions of what’s possible when fashion aligns with nature. Each piece captures the tactile warmth and richness of traditional leather but is crafted entirely from renewable, plant-based sources.

When you choose Origyn, you choose handbags that honour the planet, proof that innovation can be a source of hope that doesn't have to cost us the future health of the planet.

Carry the Change
Every handbag tells a story. Ours begins with soil, science, and a belief that elegance should evolve. By using MIRUM®, Origyn joins a new generation of makers who believe sustainability isn’t a trend, it’s a standard.

Because the future of fashion isn’t plastic. It’s plants.
