TômTex makes a leather-like textile using chitosan, a biopolymer abundant in seafood shells and mushrooms. The chitosan is mixed with other green substances through a 100% green chemical process to create the textile. The material stands out as highly customizable. It starts as a liquid, which can be manipulated into myriad patterns and textures.
