Beyond the EcoStandard model there is:
EcoSport series incorporates hand-wrapped premium leather from a partner with a 100% sustainable manufacturing strategy – utilizing over 85% of each hide. Design intent is to preserve the natural look and feel of the leather, while highlighting the uniqueness and “natural markings” of each individual hide.
EcoChic is based on a completely animal-free approach that offers the most luxurious automotive environment. This series uses a soft hand textile composed of 100% Bamboo Viscose and frames authentic fossil leaves inside the EcoGlass.
