Leather is a glamorous and luxurious material to use when making clothing, handbags, car interior, and the like, but it can also be an expensive one. That's way the Desserto company has developed "a highly sustainable plant based material as an alternative to leather made from cactus, often distinguished by its great softness at touch while offering a great performance for a wide variety of applications and complying with the most rigorous quality and environmental standards." Watch this video and see how Desserto creates their leather alternative, which may soon be used in a product that you purchase.
Capt'n John saw a plant called a "Ric Rac Cactus". He loved the plant and that it had that ric rac look so he ran to Alden Lane Nursery and got one. Alex has loved the plant and mentioned it on her LIVE recently. Then it turned out in the chat that the cactus has a lot of names. What other names does it have?
