Desserto® incorporates care into their farming and manufacturing processes. First, the nopal cacti on their ranch are treated tenderly. Twice a year, farmers harvest just the mature pads, leaving the rest of the succulent to grow back. Better still, nopal doesn’t even need irrigation to regenerate. It’s resilient enough to thrive while just sipping rain. And since nopal is hearty by nature, it flourishes without pesticides, so it's grown organically. By any measure, cactus-based leather substitute does right by your phone. And your conscience.

Why does the Desserto® material look luxe enough to live inside European luxury cars? Because it has. From German cars to Italian sandals, cactus leather is rapidly becoming the fabric of choice when only the choicest fabric will do. When we began exploring alternatives to leather, this fabric captivated us because of its rich grain, distinctive texture and vibrant colors. Whether stretched on a phone case or tailored to a wearable, this cactus-based leather alternative is a material with the right balance of indulgence and subtlety.

Phones’ lives are pure punishment. Day in and day out, they’re dropped to floors, rubbed in pockets and tumbled in handbags . So when we vetted Desserto® cactus-based leather substitute, we knew it had to have enough backbone to outlive the real world. And it does, delivering on three fronts: it’s naturally resistant to wear, it stands up to scuffs and it has tremendous stain-blocking properties. Cactus leather is an ‘80s action flick hero — up for the challenge, whatever the challenge.
