Our story
We started with a simple idea. Stop relying on plastic.
Genesi is a vegan leather company based in Oregon, USA, committed to sustainability and reducing microplastic pollution in humans and animals. As a team, we’ve spent years researching and thinking about ways to reduce microplastics from our own lives. After significant bench research and development, we have created a material that looks, feels, and performs like traditional leather and gratefully avoids the use of harsh, toxic chemicals and petrochemicals. We’ve started calling it “intentional leather” because of our deep seeded intention along the journey to move ourselves from adding microplastics.
We invite you to join us in our efforts to make the world a safer and healthier place for both animals and humans through the adoption of sustainable materials and responsible manufacturing practices.
Let’s go Plasticless™
Philosophy
Three basic concepts.
- Bio-Based
Built from biological materials, we turn living matter into a refined material for modern design.
- Plastic-Free
Materials made without conventional plastics, designed for a future where performance doesn't depend on petroleum.
- High Performance
Designed for real-world use, our material combines a soft, leather-like feel with the durability needed for everyday products.
We're developing bio-based, plastic-free materials for people who will take them places we haven't imagined.
