MINI BELIEVE IT OR NOT –

Piñatex™ is a textile made from the fibers in pineapple leaves that closely resembles leather.

The fibers that make up Piñatex are extracted from pineapple leaves
The leaves are put through an industrial process at the end of which emerges the textile
With treatment, the Piñatex can closely resemble leather
The plan is that any object that uses leather (car interiors, cloths, furniture) will be able to use Piñatex instead
