Be inspired by our International Women's Day Female Founder Series. From a range of market sectors + backgrounds, these women all share stories of creativity, vision + leaning in to the risk of building something from nothing.

Sustainability is the buzzword of the moment. We don't profess perfection, but we have made some intentional choices in our manufacturing, materials + packaging that keep us on a path we are proud of.

Sourcing materials is a major part of creating our vegan handbag collections at Sans Beast.  With our core mission to use no animal products, we take a look at the range of biobased + manmade materials currently available for non leather handbags, and talk you through some of the issues in selecting the right materials.  Cost, minimums, freight + commercial availability are all factors that come into play when we're compiling our wishlist for new collections.  

We recently chatted to Sian Murray, co-founder of Pleasant State - the Sunshine Coast based startup, focused on revolutionising the cleaning products space, with earth friendly solutions.   They're cruelty free, locally made + incredibly committed to their vision.  Read on to learn about this dynamic duo + what they've got planned for getting your home clean, sans toxic chemicals.
