The materials we use, whether PU or apple waste-based, have a lower environmental impact than materials derived from livestock farming.

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

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

ECO-NAPPA (vegan leather)

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 in terms of both its resistance and durability.

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

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

The collected bottles are transported to collective sorting centers where they are regenerated into granules. These granules then re-enter the industrial cycle to be transformed either into new bottles or, as in our case, into linings for bags and wallets.

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