Desserto is everywhere in the month of April. The vegan leather made of cactus is blooming on Mother Nature’s flower show, most prolific in April in North America with a lesser flower from early May to mid-June, writes the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Fossil brand is the latest fashion brand to use the vegan leather made in Mexico from organically-grown cactus leaves. The launch of the brand’s Kier Cactus Leather Totes is Fossil’s first venture into handbags. Priced at $298, the initiative represents Fossil’s first use of ‘pro-planet materials as part of its Make Time for Good commitment to sustainability.
