WHAT IS LEAP®?
Leap® is a vegan next-gen material made from recycled apple waste from European juice and cider producers. It contains no animal components, no harmful chemicals, and requires no complex tanning process.

WHY LEAP® ?
At Lubay, we closely follow advancements in textile technologies. In recent years, innovation has accelerated across Europe. Upon discovering Leap®, its exceptional biobased content (91%) became a defining criterion. With Leap®, Beyond Leather demonstrates how rapidly these technical innovations are evolving. Furthermore, sourcing as close to Belgium as possible is fundamental to Lubay's approach, and this material aligns precisely with this geographical criterion.

OUR COLORS
COGNAC: THE BROWN NUANCE
A warm and luminous amber brown that catches the light accurately. A shade with classic accents, designed to span seasons and complement the geometric lines of the models.
VIOLET ALMOST BLUE: THE PLAY OF LIGHT
A dense violet with cool undertones, shifting toward blue depending on exposure. A chiaroscuro color that plays with contrasts and highlights the bag's architecture.
NOIR: RADICAL PURITY
This subtle grain absorbs light while creating micro-reflections across the material's surface. Neither matte nor glossy, this black achieves a neutral balance that emphasizes every proportion.
BORDEAUX: DENSITY
An intense depth. The shade sits within a warm spectrum, characterised by a high pigment density that sharply defines the structural outline of the piece.
