Throughout the design proces, three artists co-designed the collection of fashion-accessories: Hey Jude, Viva Sage and Turncoat Studios. They all provided their own interpretation of the harnas, based on the buckle and straps, designed by Nina. The straps are made of vegan mycelium leather, made by the company MycaNova.
Mycelium is the root-like structure of a fungus, which can grow underground or on decomposing tree trunks, but in this case is grown on molasses. All variations of MycaNova contain our exclusive mycelium powder, a 100% animal-free, upcycled, and bio-based material with the highest possible concentration. Their goal is to align with your sustainability objectives, which may include using bio-based and upcycled content, locally sourced components, solvent-free materials, low carbon footprint ingredients, or a combination of these targets, based on your performance and design choices.
The fasion accessories is made with the very biological molecule whom people with diabetes often struggle with. The harnasses are made costum made for people with a medical devices, but are most importantly colourful, fashionable and accessible for everyone.
