Eco-responsible and vegan materials

The materials we use, whether PU or apple waste, have a lower impact on the environment than materials from livestock farming.

We have chosen to use lining made from recycled bottle plastic for the inside of our bags and wallets.

Regarding our metal accessories and clasps, we use brass as well as zamak.

ECO-NAPPA (leatherette)

It is a polyurethane which, although synthetic, is a more environmentally friendly material than materials of animal origin.

Its feel, appearance, and quality are exceptional. Eco-nappa has proven itself both in terms of its strength and durability.

MICROSUEDE (faux suede) It is a polyurethane material with a soft and velvety feel and a stunning appearance.

RECYCLED LINING For the interior of our bags and wallets, we have opted for a fabric lining made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) which comes from the recycling of plastic bottles.

The collected bottles are sent to collective sorting centers where they are regenerated into granules. These granules are returned to the industrial circuit to be transformed, either into new bottles or, as in our case, into lining for bags and wallets.

It takes on average 2 to 3 PET bottles to make one of our bags.
