Vegan leather in great colours

PAP FAB - or vegan leather - is an affordable alternative to leather.


At first glance, PAP FAB looks like heavy cardboard, but it's much more than that. PAP FAB is made from a mix of cellulose fibres and naturally derived latex - a combination that gives it a unique finish when washed. It gets a little curly and gets that classic leather look that works perfectly for many DIY projects.


Exciting DIY projects in PAP FAB

The material is solid-coloured, so you don't have to worry about the front and back of the project. On the other hand, the only limit to what you can make out of it is your imagination! At first glance our ideas include bags, mule bags, gorgeous rustic flowerpot holders and braided poinsettias.


Leather look for the kitchen

If you need an authentic bread basket for your breakfast table, this is where you get started. PAP FAB is food safe, and as you can wash it at up to 60°, it's perfect for DIY projects for the kitchen. Or how about making cool popcorn cups in different colours and sizes, so everyone in the family has their own unique cup for the next movie night?

Three tips for those working with PAP FAB

  1. Draw your pattern directly on the white backing with a pencil before cutting it out (don't use your regular fabric scissors for PAP FAB - it will dull them).
  2. The material feels like strong cardboard to cut, so when working on larger projects, machine wash (at max 60°) or soak the material before starting. That way, the material is more flexible to work with.
  3. If your project gets a little too curly, you can always smooth it by moistorising the material and ironing it (max heat represents two dots).


PAP FAB is water-repellent, but not waterproof.
