Introduction
Deserttex® is a vegan biomaterial created to be a sustainable alternative to leather.
Innovated in Mexico using the countries iconic nopal cactus plant it was initially introduced to the fashion industry by its parent company Desserto®. 2 years of research and development has created Deserttex®, an automotive exclusive material praised for its sustainability, aesthetic, and performance.
Now manufactured in Europe, Deserttex® is often distinguished by its great softness at touch. Not only does it handle well but the level of break in the material is excellent. It also has a degree of roundness and spring which you would normally only find in leather where the collagen acts in this way.
PBN Associates are the European representatives for Deserttex®.
