Flaux
Nonwoven-textile from flower waste
Flaux is a small clutch bag and a set of coin purses made with flower waste material. The material contains flower petals as the main ingredient and colour agent. Hence, no artificial colourant, no oil-based ingredient or additive is needed. The flower material is all-natural, compostable, recyclable and microplastic-free.
