✨ We are part of Italy’s story.
Ohoskin® has been proudly selected among the 100 outstanding women-led companies that represent the excellence of Made in Italy, combining sustainable innovation, circular economy, and strong local roots in Sicily. Our patented alternative to animal leather made from orange and cactus byproducts embodies a new vision of luxury that’s both ethical and innovative.
We are honored to be featured in the exhibition “Made in Italy: Women’s Enterprise”, inaugurated on April 15, 2025 at Palazzo Piacentini, the historic headquarters of the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy (MIMIT) https://www.mimit.gov.it/it/impresa-al-femminile, as part of the first National Made in Italy Day.
This prestigious exhibition created in collaboration with the Marisa Bellisario Foundation, the Women’s Enterprise Committee, and the Italian Federation of Knights of Labor, celebrates the impact of female entrepreneurship across key sectors like fashion, sustainable materials, technology, and manufacturing.
As highlighted by Minister Adolfo Urso, women are playing a key role in shaping the economic, social, and civic growth of Italy. The exhibition is a tribute to the creativity, resilience, and leadership of women who are redefining the Italian business landscape.
Ohoskin®: Where sustainability meets italian design
This recognition marks a meaningful milestone for Ohoskin®. Our startup is guided by a female vision that merges circular economy principles, material innovation, and timeless aesthetics. We’ve developed a next-generation material made from the by-products of Sicilian oranges and prickly pear cacti, offering a premium, cruelty-free alternative to leather for the fashion, automotive, and interior design industries.
Every meter of Ohoskin® tells a story of Sicily, sustainability, and innovation. A story that now becomes part of Italy’s broader narrative, as a symbol of how businesses can champion beauty and responsibility side by side.
“Being selected for this exhibition is a recognition we share with our team, our clients, and everyone who supports our mission those who believe that building a more equitable and sustainable future begins with the materials we choose and the values that guide us” Adriana Santanocito, CEO and Co-Founder of Ohoskin®.
