giving consumers an animal-free option replicating the look, feel and smell of traditional leather. During its September 10 product launch, Bellroy will offer phone cases for the iPhone 17, MagSafe-compatible wallets and Pod Jackets for the new AirPods, all made with INNOVERA™. On September 16, Bellroy will release an INNOVERA™ capsule collection with some of Bellroy's bestselling small leather goods including key and passport covers as well as a wallet.

"We formed a partnership with Bellroy to help them bring environmentally sustainable INNOVERA™-based products to market," said Modern Meadow CEO David Williamson, PhD. "With our shared commitment to create high-performance, aesthetically beautiful products that minimize our impact on the planet, we both continue to meet the growing consumer demand for responsibility and transparency without compromising quality. INNOVERA™ delivers the perfect balance of science, sustainability and luxury – an experience that creates ideal materials for designers and brands to bring their ideas to life, making them resonate with consumers."

INNOVERA™ is crafted using plant-based proteins, biopolymers and recycled rubber – resulting in over 80% renewable carbon content. It integrates into industry standard manufacturing processes and is offered in various colors, haptics and finishes. Additionally, the material is lightweight and twice as strong as traditional leather.

Through Modern Meadow's new online shop, designers and brands can now purchase INNOVERA™ samples to explore how they can work with Modern Meadow and its tannery partners to co-create custom materials. In this case, Bellroy selected Heller-Leder as the supplier of INNOVERA™ for its products, showcasing how the collaboration between INNOVERA™, brand and tannery can fulfill the design and sustainability needs of the automotive, footwear, fashion and interiors industries.

"At Bellroy, we choose our materials based on a balance of functionality, durability and their ability to age gracefully," said Bellroy Chief Production Officer Arya Ghavifekr. "INNOVERA™ brings new meaning to longevity in tech cases and accessories with its strength, protection, superior resistance to wear and patina, and similarities to real leather. We believe our customers will like the innovative character of INNOVERA™."

"By partnering with Modern Meadow, we found a solutions provider that is aligned with our approach to sustainability and using business for good to make products that last and have a positive impact on the planet," said Bellroy Co-Founder Andy Fallshaw.
