British accessories brand Been London has collaborated with London-based materials start-up Arda Biomaterials to develop a snakeskin-style handbag crafted from spent grain sourced locally from London’s ‘Beer Mile’ in Bermondsey.The new version of Been’s bestselling ‘Millais’ shoulder bag marks the first to debut Arda’s pioneering leather-like material, animal and plastic-free material, ‘New Grain’ engineered using leftover plant proteins in spent grain from London breweries.‘New Grain’ is described as “an extraordinary next-generation material,” and aims to offer a leather-like appearance with the same luxurious feel and premium quality, while turning a globally abundant byproduct of the beer brewing and whisky distilling industries into something new.Arda states that by bypassing animal-derived materials, ‘New Grain’ “significantly enhances resource efficiency while achieving unique qualities unattainable by animal skins”. The fabric is crafted from the ground up, allowing for customisability in patterns, thickness, colours, elasticity, flexibility, and scents.In addition, the production process generates 97 percent fewer CO2 emissions compared to traditional leather and avoids the harmful tanning process, contributing to a cleaner environment and zero microplastics.
