Eucortex Bio-Leather, 2025
Eucalyptus bio-leather 11x17
Eucortex is made from the discarded foliage and bark of eucalyptus trees. Biomass that would otherwise feed fires or decompose in landfills is transformed into a material with many of the same properties as traditional leather. At the end of its life cycle, Eucortex can be buried, prolonging the sequestration of carbon and eventually nourishing the soil.

Understory Gaiters, 2025
Eucalyptus bio-leather 17x12
Understory turns wildfire threats into regenerative solutions by repurposing invasive eucalyptus trees in the Bay Area, which exacerbate fire risks, into durable, plant-based leather. This leather is used to create resilient, tick-repelling workwear for those removing the trees, promoting ecological restoration.
