Qorium rebrands as Reyva ahead of commercial leather rollout

Qorium has rebranded as Reyva as it moves towards commercial-scale production of cell-cultivated leather, according to Just Style. The new identity reflects its ambition to establish a global materials brand serving the luxury leather market.

Reyva’s process begins with a small animal biopsy. Selected cells are banked, multiplied and cultivated in company-owned bioreactors to produce collagen sheets, which are then tanned and finished using established leather industry techniques. The company said its material retains conventional leather’s strength, breathability and durability without relying on animal rearing or slaughter.

The company said the process offers greater control over thickness, structure and quality while addressing variability and waste associated with animal hides. Reyva is industrialising production at the Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus in the Netherlands and working with selected automotive and luxury fashion partners. Material availability will initially be limited as capacity increases.

Why it matters For luxury fashion brands and manufacturers, Reyva’s move towards commercial production offers a leather material designed to combine familiar performance qualities with more controlled production. Its compatibility with established finishing techniques is relevant to suppliers, although limited initial availability will constrain access as production expands.
