Vegan leather
Technical vegan leather has established itself as an advanced alternative to natural leather, ideal for demanding sectors such as contract, hospitality, catering, nautical, furniture, transport, aviation, healthcare and communities (cinemas, gyms, theatres and spas).
Vegan leather is a synthetic material developed as an alternative to animal leather, created from advanced polymers or sustainable technical fibers. Its application in the technical upholstery sector offers a surface that mimics the appearance and texture of natural leather, but with superior technical properties and no negative impact on animal welfare.
At Alonso Mercader, we work with state-of-the-art vegan leathers that combine resistance, comfort, and contemporary aesthetics, adapted to the most demanding requirements of different professional sectors.
Vegan leather has a number of benefits that make it an ideal material for heavy-duty applications:
✔ Premium aesthetics and versatility
Vegan leather realistically reproduces the texture, elasticity, and appearance of natural leather, with the advantage of offering a wide variety of colors, finishes, and textures.
✔ Hygiene and easy maintenance
As a non-porous material, vegan leather is very easy to clean and disinfect, making it ideal for sectors such as catering, healthcare, and communities.
✔ Resistance and durability
Thanks to technical coatings, vegan leather is resistant to abrasion, intensive use, and contact with chemical agents, maintaining its appearance intact for long periods.
✔ Certified safety
Our vegan leather textiles comply with fire resistance and low emission regulations, making them suitable for sectors such as aviation, transportation, and contract.
✔ Sustainability and responsibility
Vegan leather avoids the use of animal-derived resources, and its durability contributes to reducing environmental impact by decreasing the need for frequent replacements.
Alonso Mercader’s technical vegan leather is designed for multiple sectors and high-performance environments:
At Alonso Mercader, we design and produce collections of technical vegan leather that offer a perfect balance between innovation, sustainability, and design. We are committed to collaborating with architects, interior designers, upholsterers, and specifiers to provide high-value textile solutions for projects of various scales.
The vegan leathers we develop comply with various international standards and can include additional treatments such as stain protection, antibacterial properties, or resistance to external agents, making them high-performance, highly reliable technical textiles.
Alonso Mercader’s technical vegan leather reflects our commitment to the environment and responsible innovation. As a material that is free of animal origin and has a long useful life, it helps reduce environmental impact and promote more sustainable interior design and design projects.
In addition, the durability and easy maintenance of this material reduce the need for replacements and the use of harsh chemicals, thus contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of each project.
