Fungi-Based Leather Handbags

The Stella McCartney Stella Ryder handbag has been shown off by the brand as one of its latest accessories for its Spring/Summer 2025 collection that puts an eco-friendly material in the spotlight.

The purse is crafted from the fungi-based Fy™ from Hydefy that’s positioned as high-performance material that’s inherently cruelty-free thanks to its plant-based composition. The material is achieved through a proprietary fermentation process and is crafted with fungi along with sugarcane waste to make it a sustainable alternative to leather. The handbag itself features a structured form and a finish that looks and feels like leather, despite its plant-based material.

Stella McCartney herself commented on the use of Hydefy Fy™ for the Stella McCartney Stella Ryder handbag saying, “I am constantly exploring plant and fungi-based, regenerative alternatives that do not harm animals and heal Mother Earth. Harmonious to this philosophy, the innovators behind Hydefy are developing materials with fresh thinking and a focus on sustainability.”

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
