Stella McCartney has just announced the on-sale date for the Frayme Mylo bag from the brand's spring collection

Worthy of particular note is the Mylo Frayme bag which will be on sale and available to purchase from 01/07/2022. A material innovation by Bolt Threads crafted from mycelium (mushroom leather), Mylo is the industry's incredible new sustainable solution to PVC - an unsustainable plastic which is no longer a viable leather alternative.

A verified animal-free leather alternative, Mylo is also infinitely renewable as it comes from the underground root system of fungi. Sustainability at its smartest, according to Stella herself, who's SS22 show marked the first ever runway show for a bag made from Mylo. 

“Mylo mycelium leather is a landmark moment not only for us, but the world,” Stella noted. “What you see on the runway today is the conscious fashion industry of tomorrow.”

The Mylo Frayme is a continuation on Stella's cruelty-free legacy and leadership, having introduced the first vegan luxury ‘it bag’ with the iconic Falabella tote in 2009 which has sold over 1 million since then and, in turn, has prevented the deaths of approximately 400,000 cows.

Elsewhere in the collection you can expect to see a redefinition of sexiness through a softer lens which focuses on lightness and tonnes of movement.
