Washable Paper: A Better Alternative to Leather and Vegan Leather
Washable paper is a plant-based material designed to replicate the look and feel of leather — without using animal products or plastic-based alternatives like polyurethane (PU).
Developed from traditional kraft paper, this innovative textile combines natural cellulose fibres with non-toxic binders to create a strong, flexible, and water-resistant material that can be washed and reused.
The result is a modern fabric that is both practical and sustainable.
At James&Co, washable paper is used to create products that are lightweight, durable, and aligned with a plastic-free future.
Why washable paper stands out:
- Strong and long-lasting
- Softens with use, like leather
- Lightweight and easy to carry
- Free from plastics and toxic coatings
- Made from responsibly sourced materials
Certified by FSC and Oeko-Tex, washable paper supports responsible forestry and safe production processes.
It’s a material designed not just for today — but for the future of fashion.
