BAGS & PURSES

Ethically and sustainably made bags and purses — from everyday totes and considered handbags to compact purses. Fresh, timeless designs built to last from independent brands doing things properly.

Bags built to last

A bag is one of the most-used items in any wardrobe — and one of the most worth investing in properly. Our bags and purses edit focuses on independent brands that combine considered design with ethical production: responsible materials, fair working conditions, and construction that is built for the long term rather than the short.

Brands in this edit

O My Bag Amsterdam produces their leather bags in India under fair trade certified conditions, using full-grain leather from LWG-certified tanneries. Ann Kurz brings a refined, handcrafted approach to small leather goods. Original Duckhead offers playfully designed, sustainably produced totes. Each brand has a story worth knowing.

What to consider

When buying a sustainable bag, look beyond the material to the full picture: where it was made, by whom, and under what conditions. A bag made from ethical leather or recycled materials by a certified factory is a far better choice than a vegan alternative from an opaque supply chain.
