Italian designer Julie Berard shows you don’t have to sacrifice luxury to go green with her new eco-friendly range for Muratori Handbags.
Of course, eco-friendly is a relative term. Many may scoff at the green label applied to these luxury leather goods. But there’s no doubting her practices are much better than most fashion labels. The leathers are chrome-free and naturally dyed with vegetable products. It’s not such good news for the cows, but the rest of the planet shouldn’t mind too much!
Every Muratori purse is hand-stitched, so the quality is fabulous. I’m particularly taken with this Petal Bag, the brand’s signature design for the season. I love the delicate flower petals adorning the front, and the classic, if somewhat impractical, cream color. Of course it’s available in a few darker shades to hide the stains, but this is the one that’s stolen my heart. And at $975, it’s not prohibitively expensive either!
The spring collection includes both men’s and women’s accessories, so no one needs to miss out!
