Backed by Ecovative, the world’s leading mycotechnology company since 2007, Forager holds 165+ patents and leads the way in mycelium technology.

The Natural Progression

Forager is driving the shift from traditional materials to sustainable, innovative alternatives. If a material doesn’t meet our standards for performance and environmental impact, we don’t pursue it.

At Forager, we don’t just imagine a better future for fashion—we create it. Since 2007, Ecovative has been the leader in mycotechnology, engineering sustainable, high-performance materials with our proprietary AirMycelium™ technology.

Technical Excellence

Our team of scientists, engineers, and designers harnesses nature’s ingenuity to redefine fashion.
