Sustainability
At Rheina, we believe luxury should never come at the expense of animals or the planet. That's why we chose Oleatex®, an innovative next-generation material crafted from the by-products of the Mediterranean olive oil industry.
Rather than allowing olive waste to be discarded, Oleatex transforms this agricultural by-product into a beautiful, durable material suitable for luxury accessories.

By giving new life to olive industry waste, Oleatex supports a more circular approach to fashion—transforming what would otherwise be discarded into something beautiful and long-lasting.
The material is sourced from one of the Mediterranean's most abundant agricultural by-products, helping reduce waste while creating a lower-impact alternative for conscious consumers.
Materials With Purpose
Oleatex contains up to 90% bio-based content and is produced using a solvent-free manufacturing process.
The material is engineered to deliver the look, feel, and performance expected from premium accessories while significantly reducing reliance on animal-derived materials and fossil-fuel-based alternatives.
Designed in London. Crafted in Istanbul.
Our designs are created in London and brought to life in Istanbul, a city with generations of leather and accessory craftsmanship.
We work with skilled artisans and responsible workshops, producing in small batches to ensure quality, ethical working conditions and minimal waste. Every piece is made with care, precision and intention.
