MycoWorks first object made with Fine Mycelium™: the Hermès Victoria bag.
Made of Fine Mycelium, H plume canvas and Evercalf calfskin, it is an exemplar of a new generation of exclusive materials, Sylvania made out of Fine Mycelium is the result of three years of exclusive and collaborative work by Hermès and MycoWorks. Fine Mycelium, the genesis of Sylvania, is produced in the MycoWorks facility, then tanned and finished in France by the Hermès tanners to further refine its strength and durability, matching Hermès quality standards. Finally, it is shaped in the Hermès workshops by their craftspeople. Sylvania made with Fine Mycelium should not be referred to as mushroom leather. It is differentiated by a proprietary cellular structure which enables its strength, durability and hand feel: the result of our patented technology.
