Part of Manchester Science Festival

Fashion yourself something green and gorgeous at vLeather!, our vegan leather craft event. Get a tea-ser from Jane Wood, researcher extraordinaire at Manchester Metropolitan University, as she shows you how to grow your own organic fabric from kombucha tea. Cue Stockport hatmaker and Hat Works curator, Bronwen Simpson, who’ll help you create a fashion statement using this biodegradable wonder fabric. Whether it’s a
fancy hat trim, a beautiful brooch or a unique hair accessory, the best thing you’ll take home with you from Hats Off to vLeather! is the unshakeable idea that sustainable style is the new black.
