Olive-based Leather Jacket – Olea Black
820€
Olea women’s olive-based leather jacket by Balsais is crafted from olive waste material.
Neither fully polished nor entirely raw, it balances softness with an edge, presence with ease-like sensation of encountering something new despite carrying a faint trace of seeing it before.
Olea is designed and made in Lithuania.
Cut with soundless precision, Olea carries the spirit of the olive tree-rooted in sun-soaked soil, shaped by time, both sharp and fluid. Its silhouette plays with restraint and surprise, modern minimalism laced with an unexpected touch of wit, restrain fractured just enough to intrigue.
The Olea jacket is crafted from certified plant-based material – olive waste-based leather developed by Oleatex.
Beata is 177cm / 5’10” tall and wears size 1.
Outer layer: 55% Olea-C* 45% Bio PU
Lining: Viscose 100%
*derived from the waste products of the olive oil industry (olive pomace & other olive tree biomass)
BALSAIS garments are made from exceptionally rare plant-based materials, and as such, PROFESSIONAL DRY (NON-WATER-BASED) CLEANING is the only safe cleaning method. Washing, tumble drying, bleaching, or ironing can alter the shape, texture, or color, and may change the essence of the piece itself. To preserve its integrity, we recommend no more than one professional dry clean per year, unless a visible stain demands attention.
Leather
Leather counterpart is crafted from olive tree bio-waste—specifically olive pomace, moisture solid residue obtained after extracting oil from olives.
Typically a source of environmental harm—polluting water, degrading soil, and disrupting local ecosystems—this byproduct is transformed into a material with up to 70% USDA-certified bio-based content, reducing carbon impact more than sixfold compared to conventional leathers or synthetics, derived entirely from patroleum.
