Name of fabric: Faux Suede/ Dinamica
Produced: Man made from 100% recycled PET.
The material is super-durable and water-repellent,
but is still soft to the touch - a true fashion innovation.
Environmental impact: Made out of recycled bottles.
The microfiber looks and feels like the genuine article,
except it's cruelty-free, uses no solvents or harsh chemicals,
and is completely recyclable.
Compared with petroleum-based polyester, 
Dinamica cuts carbon emissions by 60%.
Apparel merchandise: Faux Leather goods.
Shoes and bags.

My favorite brand: MATT & NAT
