Discover our collection of sustainable bags and purses, where style meets purpose. These ethically crafted accessories bring together innovation, function and social responsibility. Our selection features thoughtfully designed bags from brands like Madlug, Elvis & Kresse, and Shakti.ism. Each bag or purse is made with high quality, eco-friendly materials, from upcycled fire hoses to repurposed saris, transforming waste into beautiful, durable pieces.

Our bags go beyond just being functional accessories. With each purchase, you directly support social and environmental causes – from empowering artisan communities to funding children’s education and donating to charities. For example, Madlug’s backpacks make a profound impact – for each one sold, a travel bag is gifted to a child in care, offering them something they can call their own. Elvis & Kresse repurposes decommissioned British fire hoses to create luxury accessories, donating 50% of profits to The Fire Fighters Charity.

In addition to their unique stories, these bags are designed for daily life, offering versatile, stylish solutions for work, travel and everyday use. Consider the Mini Millais by BEEN London, a compact, understated bag crafted from recycled leather, perfect for any occasion. Or, explore the vibrant upcycled sari bags by Shakti.ism, handmade by artisans in India and supporting women from disadvantaged backgrounds. Each item is truly one-of-a-kind, with minor imperfections that make it even more distinct.

By choosing one of these sustainable bags or purses, you are making a conscious choice to support ethical craftsmanship and a cleaner planet. Our collection brings together bags that are not only designed to last but also inspire change – for people and the planet. Whether you’re looking for a stylish backpack, a classic tote or a unique cardholder, these bags empower you to make a positive impact with every use.
