The accessories area was more compact than in previous editions, with several regular exhibitors absent this time and new Chinese brands taking their place.

Seaweed textiles


Peelsphere is pioneering textiles derived from seaweed. The material is composed of two layers of


seaweed pressed around a nearly invisible woven fabric, resulting in a flexible, translucent surface. By extracting algae polysaccharides, the company creates a supple


fabric with a rainwear or leather-like look and feel, that is also waterproof and biodegradable under specific conditions.


The material can be produced in thicknesses ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 mm, and it accepts printing and patterned cutting for diverse design applications.


Luxury brands have already adopted the fabric for bags, while outdoor and performance labels have tested it in products such as waterproof buckets and hats. For

Peelsphere


often recommends blends with 20–30% seaweed- based material to


maintain performance standards and control pricing.
