The reversible tote, cross-body shoulder bag and clutch/wallet are carefully selected to work with the main colour groups of a capsule wardrobe: black, brown and navy. Each one has detailing in dual colours to work across the seasons.
They use luxury vegan polyurethene leather that is coated and textured for the same pebble grain and the linings of the cross body bags are made from recycled water bottles. They use recycled PU leather. The boxes are made from compostable fsc-wood or cardboard with water-based inks and natural glue, and are sold in fair trade cotton drawstring bags with the brand logo. Trees are also planted in the Amazon rainforest (responsible for 6% of the world’s oxygen) for the bags sold.
Vegan handbags are made from sustainable alternatives to real leather, which is often made in countries with poor animal (and human) welfare, and causes pollution due due to the tanning process. Vegan leather is also easy to wipe-clean.
It takes 17,000 litres of fresh water to make 1kg of leather. 80% of leather is tanned with chrome that is toxic to tannery workers, plus animals suffer (20% of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, with cattle ranching the main cause). Cattle farming is by far the biggest contributor to CO2 emissions in livestock farming, causing 60% of all emissions, and over 65% of leather is from cows.
