  • LABOVARDE, a premium lifestyle brand from South Korea, has entered Japan and launched a global website.

  • Its products use bio-leather partly made from corn biomass and emphasize multifunctional design to reduce consumption and environmental impact.

LABOVARDE is using its first entry into Japan as a springboard for a broader global push. The premium lifestyle brand from Consciouswear, a company based at the Korea Creative Content Agencyโ€™s CKL Corporate Support Center, has also opened a global website.

The brand presents accessories designed for use with devices from Apple, Samsung and LG. Its products include laptop stands, cases and sleeves, MagSafe card wallets, and smartwatch straps. LABOVARDE emphasizes practical functions and restrained design under the slogan โ€œSmart design, Sustainable life.โ€

A key material is bio-leather made partly with corn biomass. The plant-derived material is intended to reduce reliance on petroleum-based inputs while retaining the feel and durability associated with leather.

The company also applies multifunctional designs to reduce unnecessary consumption and extend product lifespans, with the stated aim of lowering the environmental burden of its products.
