001 is the story of a bag made of vegetable-based vegan leather. The cactus, which is found in large quantities in Mexico, was made into high-quality cactus leather after long research, and through the efforts and stories of many people, two types of bags were completed. At ATOF, we are committed to provide more choices in fashion to enjoy.

After two years of research, the company ADRIANO DI MARTI (Adrian and Marte), based in Guadalajara, Mexico's second largest city, has developed a cactus leather called Desserto. This vegan leather is based on organically grown cactus and plant-derived biopolyurethane. Cactus is harvested and carefully washed to remove the thorns. It is ground and dried in the sun for three days, then finely ground into a powder. Processed by patented technology, it is transformed into vegan leather. Cactus farms do not use herbicides, pesticides, or other chemicals, and the nopal cactus they only require a little water during its growth process. Furthermore, cactus is a carbon sink and is an environmentally friendly plant that is said to absorb 8,100 tons of CO₂ per year at its production farms.

The cactus leather used for our bag has a very high quality and smooth texture. It is also very resistant to friction, scratches, and UV rays, even water and dirt making it a very practical.
It is also more resistant to moisture and humidity than synthetic vegan leather is breathable. The quality is just amazing.

All sewing is done at our local workshop in Kuramae, Tokyo. From the planning stage, we have been working with craftsmen through try and error. Every detail of each item is carefully done by hand, and because of the time spent, the beauty of the seams and form of the finished product will make you feel special. You can feel the warmth of the craftsman's handiwork and the high quality of the product.
