OUR STORY
Sans Beast was established by Cathryn Wills in May 2017.
Sans = without. Beast = animal.
After working in Australian fashion retail for nearly 30 years, with over a decade of that chapter spent living and breathing the world of leather handbags, she progressively recognised a disconnect between her professional role + her ethical stance on animal welfare and the environment.
Following a period of research + development, Sans Beast officially launched in March 2018.
The brand continues to evolve in material sourcing + design development - yet the central ethos remains 'without beast'.
NO ANIMAL PRODUCTS
We believe in striving for a kinder world, where animals are not exploited for our food or fashion.
We utilise recycled synthetic materials + a selection of bio-based or partially bio-based fabrics - always with our eye on pioneers in this space.
SLOW + STEADY
Our process to design + produce Sans Beast is slow + deeply considered.
We value the notion of signature pieces that talk to our brand codes + inspire our community to collect + treasure.

THE STORY OF THE OX
We often get asked about what our logo - which actually isn't an upside down letter A - means. Read the story of how our distinctive logo + wordmark came to be.
