We chose Centrestage 2021 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as our first exhibition to officially launch the iFarmaissance Brand. As one of Asia’s most anticipated annual fashion events it was a terrific opportunity during the pandemic to be involved in an exhibition that was a hybrid combination of a physical-and-digital format.
Combining our display booth with livestreaming and video-conferencing, we were able to join with over 200 fashion brands from over 24 countries and regions over a three day period to showcase our unique brand of fashion and sustainability.
As the first of many exhibitions we have planned worldwide this was the perfect introduction for the iFarmaissance biobased leather handbags and accessories range.

Our Materials
We selected Biobased Leather Alternatives to produce our bags to raise awareness about Climate, Biodiversity and Nature.
What is Biobased Leather Alternatives? It's a plant-based and refers to leather-like material that is wholly or partly derived from the food waste or by-products from agriculture - biomass, originally from plants or trees. iFarmaissance uses a variety of biomass sources such as grape residue from the waste of the wine making process and apple residue from the leftover pomace and peel from the fruit juice and compote industry, as well as pineapple leaf fibres and regeneratively grown cactus.
Our founder’s assignment of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, University of Cambridge is now supported by The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel, in conjunction with The HKSAR Innovation and Technology Commission for R & D Biobased leather alternatives with the professors of City University of Hong Kong to bring this plan to life in a real life scenario and to contribute to a Decarbonisation Solution for the World.
