Our luxury handbags are produced from cactus leather — one of the most sustainable animal-leather alternatives. It is smooth, elastic, customizable, and breathable material. Our leather supplier is Desserto — an award-winning cactus leather producer. Desserto is considered a pioneer in cactus-based leather. The production of cactus leather requires less water than making animal leather. We believe that this organic vegan leather will reduce harm to cows and other animals and thanks to companies like as Desserto, the fashion industry will turn to green leather alternatives.
