Taiwan-born Linda Wong has combined her love of the planet and fashion in her handbag label, Canopy Verde. The brand offers practical, environmentally friendly, and stylish purses.
The label was a labor of love for the new mom, in more ways than one. In fact, Linda was finalizing details of her website launch while in labor with her first son Will!
Canopy Verde’s extensive collection features bags of all shapes and sizes. The cute Pomelo and Calamint clutches are ideal for casual evenings out. The oversized Dewberry tote is perfect for moms with its bottle holders and easy-clean lining. The Cassia is the granddaddy of the bunch, with its expansive interior ready for weekend getaways.
The fabric bags are made from a soft blend of organic cotton and bamboo, while the more luxurious ones are crafted from chrome-free leather. All feature OEKO-TEX 100 certified dyes and chemical-free embroidery.
“In creating Canopy Verde, I wanted to be very thoughtful about any component that was put into the bag as well as the construction methods,” Linda explained. “Special attention was paid to everything down to the lining and the dyeing process.”
The Canopy Verde collection is available in boutiques across the United States and even Australia. The full range is also available at several green e-retailers including Organic Elementz and FairTribe.
