Positive Luxury - shortlisted

I set up Planet of the Grapes to redefine materials, what they’re made from and the eco-system around them. 

That was 5 years ago and so to be shortlisted by Positive Luxury as A Supplier of the Year, well, that makes my heart sing!! 

At Planet of the Grapes, we create and develop a grape based biomaterials for the Fashion and Lifestyle industries and life starts off with me sourcing our grape Marc directly from our local organic winemakers in Provence. 

The Positive Luxury Awards 2026 reward those taking serious, sustained positive action. This award is for the luxury business deemed to have demonstrated the most measurable positive impact on nature, people and profit – and true inspiration, showing others what is possible. 

Here are some of the reasons why we have been Shortlisted; 

🍇 Sustainability is embedded end-to-end in Planet of the Grapes’s business model and governance, rather than treated as a standalone initiative or communications layer. Our approach is structured around double materiality, ensuring that environmental and social considerations directly inform every product design, sourcing decision, operational process and long-term commercial strategy. 

🍇 Impact on Society Sustainability implementation has created new revenue streams for vineyards and local processors, supporting rural economic resilience in the face of climate-related harvest volatility. Strict chemical-management practices support safer working conditions and downstream consumer health. Educational engagement through universities and mentoring contributes to skills development and knowledge transfer in sustainable materials and circular design. 

Thank-you once again Positive Luxury for your recognition and to our growing Planet of the Grapes team!
