ROOT AWAKENING

Stella McCartney’s icon-to-be Frayme bag gets an extraordinary rendition: the Frayme Mylo, said to be the world’s first-ever commercial launch of a luxury bag crafted from mycelium. Mycelium is the root-like structure of fungi that is transformed into Mylo, a verified vegan alternative to animal leather that mimics the microstructure of collagen, producing a warmth and sponginess not possible in other synthetic options. Coupled with an oversized, recyclable aluminium chain strap, the first drop of the Frayme Mylo this month is limited-edition, with the bags numbered 1 to 100.
