Summary/Abstract: This research explores innovations in sustainable fashion accessory design, highlighting the use of eco-friendly materials such as natural fibers, vegan leather, recycled metals, and ecological resins. Advances in biotechnology have led to the development of genetically modified plant fibers that are biodegradable and durable, while emerging markets for leather Piñatex and other renewable alternatives reflect a global trend toward sustainability. Contemporary designers, such as Alba Prieto, adopt digital production techniques, including 3D printing, to reduce material waste, creating jewelry from recycled metals and recovered fishing nets. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating renewable resources in accessory design, focusing on sustainable aesthetics and functionality. By implementing these principles, the fashion industry is transforming, offering innovative solutions that not only minimize ecological impact but also enrich the consumer's aesthetic experience.
