Orange Is the New Leather

Orange Is the New Leather

Posted on May 15, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on Orange Is the New Leather

Luxury and innovation often collide in the most unexpected ways and in this case, it smells a little citrusy.

The Microlino microcar, an electric city vehicle redefining sustainable urban mobility, has taken a bold leap in interior design. Instead of traditional leather, the interior is lined with Ohoskin — a revolutionary material crafted from Sicilian orange peels and cactus fibers. This plant-based alternative to leather is the work of Italian material-tech company Ohoskin, whose mission is to redefine sustainability without compromising on luxury.

Ohoskin speaks to the future of what I call “silent luxury”  where value lies not in loud branding but in considered choices, ethical sourcing, and beautifully made materials.

As shared in a recent Instagram post by the Microlino official page, this interior innovation isn’t just about being eco-conscious it’s about embracing cruelty-free, circular design that respects Italy’s natural resources and legacy of craftsmanship.

Orange is my favourite colour and I drive an orange car here in South East Asia.

From Citrus to Sophistication

Ohoskin doesn’t just look good; it tells a story. By transforming what would otherwise be waste orange peels from Sicily’s juicing industry and combining them with the strength and flexibility of cactus fibers, Ohoskin has created a tactile, visually rich alternative to leather. The result? A material that feels luxurious, performs durably, and supports a cleaner, kinder future.

A Tuscan Connection

As someone who lives in Tuscany among 10,000 olive trees, I understand the profound connection between nature, craftsmanship, and luxury. Over the past ten years, I’ve reviewed the world’s most prestigious vehicles from Bentley and Rolls-Royce to Ferrari and McLaren  always with an eye on how brands evolve in their definition of elegance.

I’ve also had the pleasure of working with an Italian artisan who handcrafted a vegan bag, onto which I painted my own artwork. It’s one of my favorite bags to this day not just because it’s beautiful, but because it tells a deeper story of artistic expression, ethical production, and slow luxury.
