Food waste is the unspoken reality of our generation, quickly becoming a target area of concern for consumers and creators alike. Allégorie, the women-owned powerhouse in fashion and apparel, is taking a unique approach to cutting food waste and elevating our green footprints. The company crafts apparel and accessories that are entirely composed of a proprietary blend of all-natural, discarded fruit fibers, bio-contents, and water-based PU, creating a highly sustainable alternative to leathers and other compromised materials while also making use of discarded food waste. In French, “allégorie” means ‘allegory’, which is defined as a story that can be interpreted in many different ways, often with a moral message. Fittingly, the ladies behind Allégorie understand that food waste efforts are just one piece to the puzzle in fighting for the greater good of our planet, but oftentimes it is an overlooked piece. Apples, for example, are the most consumed fruit in the United States, but an average of 50 apples are tossed per person every year, generating piles of the unwanted fruit. In addition to upcycled food wastes, Allégorie utilizes various plant-based and recycled materials, including non-edible crops and post-consumer recycled plastics, to minimize the impact on the environment and animals. Make a statement with purpose and dress with pieces that speak for you and for the planet.
