I thought I’d seen eco-friendly handbags made from every material imaginable, but it seems I was wrong. Lost Property of London reuses coffee sacks to create its range of accessories.
The rucksacks, totes, and shoulder bags from Lost Property of London have a lovely, rustic charm to them. Green purists may cringe at the leather trim and handles, but this material is actually rescued end-of-line stock. The linings are also salvaged material, as Lost Property of London works hard to reduce its carbon footprint.
This is a brand which takes going green seriously. It recycles all its waste and thoroughly investigates its suppliers to ensure they comply with ethical business practices. That commitment is admirable, especially for such a small corporation.
For me, the biggest problem is Lost Property of London’s prices. With bags priced between £55 and £130, they’re certainly not cheap. If bags are made from materials that aren’t brand new, shouldn’t we enjoy a bit of a discount? Apparently the brand wants to position itself as part of the mainstream fashion industry, and its prices reflect that. Do you think its accessories are worth what Lost Property of London charges?
