In this episode, Fashion Educator and Bio-Materials Researcher Kae Hana, sits down with us to discuss their process of experimenting with growing their own vegan leather with SCOBY. From that, our conversation evolved into speaking about the nuances of the sustainability movement, how sustainability principles have diluted into marketing speak under capitalism, and the fermentation of, you guessed it, the SCOBY, and, ourselves.
