Eco-label Pansy Maiden has expanded its handbag collection with a range of bags made from vegan ultrasuede. This unique material mimics soft calfskin suede but it’s 100% cruelty-free.
The vegan material substitutes animal products for 80% recycled plastic bottles. I hear it’s so soft that you won’t even miss the genuine article, whether you’re a fan of green fashion or not! The material is then colored using plant-based, non-sulfur dyes, a choice which prevents harmful chemical run-off.
Pansy Maiden’s using its new ultrasuede material for clutches and shoulder bags. It’s a bit hard to find them amongst the green label’s other handbags, but it’s worth trawling through its online stock for these latest releases.
And remember, all Pansy Maiden handbags use vegan, cruelty free materials, so any choice you make from the label’s website will be an eco-responsible one. Pansy Maiden founder Laura Collins also donates any scrap materials to artists in her neighborhood and local craft programs.
There’s a lot to admire about Pansy Maiden and its practices, and the new ultrasuede bags only make this fashion label more appealing. Would you carry a bag crafted from a suede substitute, or do you still believe there’s nothing like the real thing?
