Rooted in the warmth of Mocha Mousse, Pantone’s 2025 color, the “Simple Pleasures” palette invites designers to find inspiration in life’s quiet joys through a selection of seven calming, high-performance alternative leathers.
The palette captures everyday comforts with colors such as Chai Latte (inspired by Mocha Mousse), Tusk, Mica, Savanna, Burnt Ochre, Coral Reef, and Sage. These soothing hues are available in select Ultrafabrics collections, reflecting a sense of tranquility and emotional connection through sustainable design.
