Zero Waste (vegan) Luggage and Passport Holders
Most people have a couple of suitcases stashed on top of the wardrobe, or in the loft. But when they finally disintegrate (or get lost on the baggage trail), what do you replace them with?
A lot of conventional luggage is made from leather (dead animals), so are there better choices? Yes, there are!
