## About Authentic Material

Authentic Material is a French designer and manufacturer based in Toulouse, established in 2016.

The company specializes in transforming unused natural material offcuts, such as leather, horn, shell, wood, and stone, into high-value recycled composites for the luxury and design sectors. By converting leather into powder, Authentic Material creates innovative composite materials with enhanced properties, setting itself apart from traditional recycled leather producers. The company operates a pilot plant in Portet-sur-Garonne and has developed a range of natural fiber-reinforced composites, including the QILIN range and Leather Stone. These materials serve as sustainable alternatives to virgin plastics and are tailored for various applications in the luxury industry, including fashion, jewelry, and interior design. Authentic Material also offers custom material development and waste valorization services, helping luxury brands integrate recycled materials into their production processes. The company is supported by notable investors, including CHANEL, and collaborates with major luxury houses to promote circular economy solutions.
