Kombucha Leather

Kombucha leather is basically a man-made leather made from the layer formed on leftover teas. To be honest, I’m not really convinced by the idea of Kombucha leather in the fashion industry, I don’t think that this is feasible as from the one of the TED talk videos we watched in class, the designer mentioned that this is not wearable during rainy days. Although Kombucha leather allows designers to dye them to make look more real, I still think it looks less aesthetically pleasing that other existing fabrics that are used to make clothes, it still looks like plastic to me. I also doubt that this material will actually provide warmth to people.
