Designing sustainable materials for the future

We offer cruelty free and naturally biodegradable textiles that can mimic fabrics like leather, pleather, suede, latex, vinyl, and so many more. TômTex is a revolutionary, bio-based, and high performance material that emphasizes two key ingredients: seashells and mushrooms.

With a dedicated team of designers, scientists, and business people, we work at the intersection of design, chemistry, and biology to provide a radically sustainable material for everyone and every need.

Designing for Circularity

We are designing fabrics that do not rely on harmful construction. There's no toxic tanning or dying process, no petro-chemicals or plastics, and no harm to the planet or people. We invest in circularity through our nature driven design and our attention to responsibly sourcing our ingredients from manufacturers that respect people and the planet.

From the Earth,
to us, and back

TômTex is a bio-based material that helps minimize environmental impact with our transparent practices; our tanning-free process; our focus on organic dying practices and recyclability; and it’s 100% biodegradable. We are fascinated by how nature recycles all its materials and we work in collaboration with our organic materials to develop textiles that contribute to circularity. It’s the only way forward.
