Is the destination of rotten fruit the trash can? uncertain. Six university students in the Netherlands turned rotten fruit into a handbag.
These design students from Willem de Kooning College saw discarded food being thrown all over the floor at a farmer’s market and decided to solve the problem “with a designer’s eye.”
They picked up mangoes, oranges, peaches, apples and other fruits that were unwanted by vendors, removed the cores, mashed them, boiled them into jam, spread the cooled jam on a “special surface”, and dried it to make it. Special fabric for handbags: fruit skin.
They refused to disclose the specific details of making the “fruit peel”, calling it a “group secret”, but said that the “special surface” “plays a key role in the drying process.”
They told the Mashable website that handbags are just one of the items that can be made from fruit peels. It can also be used to make furniture, accessories, and clothing. It is said that a car seat manufacturer is already interested in this special fabric.
