“Luxury is being able to say I have this designer bag that is made with a new revolutionary material and I want to show the world that I’m living my values.” Sophia Wang met her Co-Founder Phil Ross while she was completing her Ph.D in Writing.

Their first material, Reishi™ Fine Mycelium, will be featured in a collaboration with Hermés.  Check out Mycoworks on Instagram and follow them on the news. -- If the content we make on the Eco-Warriors Podcast makes an impact on you, become a sponsor!
