MYLO™

The allure of leather with a sustainable transformation. Made from mycelium — the underground root-like structure of mushrooms — Mylo™ material is soft, supple, and less harmful to the environment.

Mylo is made possible by the world-class scientists and engineers at Bolt Threads. To make Mylo, they take mycelial cells and feed them sawdust and organic material in a vertical agriculture facility powered 100% by renewable energy. The mycelium grows into a foamy layer — imagine a big bag of smashed marshmallows. Once the mycelium is harvested, the remaining material is composted. We then process and finish that sheet of mycelium, and it becomes the Mylo™ material that gets used to make footwear, handbags, wallets, phone cases and other gorgeous products.

Mylo has been verified vegan and certified bio-based. Currently adidas, Kering, lululemon, and Stella McCartney are working with this mycelium-based leather alternative.
