TRAVEL DIARY: CACTUS 'LEATHER' WITH DESSERTO PELLE IN GUADALAJARA
By Cathryn Wills
Cathryn reflects on her visit to Mexico in early 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 crisis escalating in Europe / US / Australia + across the globe. One of the highlights of the trip was time spent with the founders of Desserto Pelle, the innovative business behind the cactus derived vegan 'leather'.
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.
Introducing more bio-based materials into the Sans Beast handbag collection is our goal, and we're excited to launch two new styles crafted in Italian Appleskin™ as part of Series 13. Learn more about this innovative material.
INSPIRATION: FROM TRASH TO TREASURE - THE BEAUTY OF UPCYCLED FASHION
By Jennifer Wills
What to do when a bag is no longer able to be repaired, when it's beyond rescuing? We don't give up on them + send them to landfill: we embrace the beauty of upcycled fashion.
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.
