Product Life Stories
Thank you for your purchase
materials
What is my handbag made from?
Products 01-04 are made from Natural Fibre Welding's (NFW) MIRUM®. MIRUM® is the only high-performance, plastic-free alternative to leather, MIRUM® is premium material made from responsibly sourced natural rubber, plant-based oil, natural pigments, and minerals.
Created using NFW’s patented plant-based curative – the first bioneutral alternative to petrochemical-based systems.
Production
Who made my handbag?
We partner with a producer who not only values business ethics, but lives them. They are SMETA certified, which is a stricter and more extensive
certification than BSCI, reflecting their decision to ensure high standards. It encompasses various aspects such as Labour Standards, Health & Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics.
Second Life
What happens at the end of a product's life?
Circular fashion means that we consider a product's cradle-to-cradle impact. While we're hoping that you'll enjoy your purchase for years to come-and be able to considering the durability of our chosen materials and the classic styling of our designs-we know that someday you may want to say goodbye to your item. You can feel confident that at the end of our product's life, they don't contribute to the growing plastic pollution problem that is directly impacting human health and the natural world. Moreover, we have future plans to develop a resale platform to keep our products in circulation for as long as possible.
