Malai (coconut leather)
Malai is our original material — chosen for its rare balance of beauty, performance, and biodegradability. Made from coconut agricultural waste (including by-products from the coconut water industry), it transforms what would otherwise be discarded into a refined, leather-like surface. For ZenKind, this is zero-waste luxury in its purest form: elevating an overlooked resource through mindful design and artisan craftsmanship, without compromising on a premium finish.
Eori (eucalyptus leather)
Eori is our next-generation material choice — a biodegradable, bio-based vegan leather crafted from eucalyptus cellulose. We chose it for its clean material story and elevated durability, offering a leather-like look and feel without relying on plastic-based blends. It aligns with our belief that everyday essentials should be made with intention: lighter on the planet, thoughtfully sourced, and designed to be used well for years.
Why we use both
Together, Malai and Eori reflect the same ZenKind ideology: reduce waste, avoid harm, and create timeless pieces that feel calm, minimal, and quietly luxurious. Whether it’s upcycling coconut by-products or choosing plant-based innovation, our sourcing decisions are guided by circularity — materials that are meant to return gently, leaving less behind.
Vision.
The hazardous impacts of the fashion industry have taken a toll on the ecosystem. With fast fashion becoming the popular choice among the world's population, it has led to a inevitable and unfathomable waste in our landfills. To put an urgent end to this we as a human race have to bring changes in how we live. Making more sustainable choices in terms of lifestyle & fashion products like bags, accessories & clothing is vital. With the rise of awareness & shift in buying patterns, ZenKind has been conceptualized to offer stylish yet mindful luxury accessories.
Mission.
With ZenKind we look forward to providing zero-waste luxury wherein each of our products are 100 % biodegradable within 90-120 days in the compost. We want to build a community of people who are mindful about the impact they have on the environment directly & indirectly.
