MIRUM® is made of natural ingredients only. It contains 47% natural rubber, 25% plant and mineral fillers, 28% natural waxes and oils. The rubber is FSC-certified.

MIRUM® is USDA-certified 100% bio-based and PETA-approved vegan. It can be produced with different textile backing materials, we are using one with organic cotton. More certifications are in place, please have a look at the impact report.

MIRUM® went through a third-party LCA and the carbon footprint is estimated to be ca. 2.1 kg CO2 per kg of material, where the organic cotton backing amounts to 1.3 kg and the MIRUM® coating to 0.8 kg of the total amount. This is a ca. 90% reduction compared to animal leather.

MIRUM® went through rigorous external mechanical testing with excellent results comparable to animal or synthetic leather. It even passed important tests for automotive and can be seen in the newest BMW Vision next car. This is insofar impressive, as the automotive industry has the most rigid requirements for seating materials. As the first brand worldwide launching the handle bag BAILEY from MIRUM®, we extensively tested the material in the last years and have built the necessary know-how to work with this new material.

MIRUM® is a game-changing materials offering the possibility to create leather goods without any plastics or cruelty involved. Although it can be used in the same applications, specific knowledge is needed in manufacturing. We have extensive experience with the material and offer you the highest quality designs made with MIRUM® material.
