It's the epitome of fashion meets function (and it's unisex!). Made with 100% upcycled leather, it's a small but significant step towards reducing waste, available in two sizes to suit your needs.
GREAT REVIEW: "I look for the most long lasting waist pack... which are usually made from 100% nylon... but this time i wanted something more natural... after wearing this daily for a couple weeks i feel this one will keep me company for years to come."
6. Traveler’s Wallet
An upcycled leather bifold wallet that’s small enough for everyday but includes a dedicated passport pocket for travel flexibility? Yes, please. We love when you can do more with less, and this certainly fits the bill (get it?)
7. Mini Shoulder Bag
Inspired by the '90s baguette bag trend, our mini shoulder bag offers a sustainable twist on this iconic style. Perfect for a night out in the town, it not only adds glamour to your outfit but also supports eco-conscious fashion choices.
GREAT REVIEW: "classic shape and feels like high quality construction! cute for everyday or a night out :)"
8. Convertible Bucket Bag
Versatility takes center stage with our convertible bucket bag. This sustainable work tote seamlessly transforms into a practical bag for errands or weekend adventures. Its easy-to-use secondary strap converts it from a shoulder bag to a crossbody bag. We love it in the choco croco color- brown is the new black, after all!
GREAT REVIEW: "I've been looking for a crossbody bucket bag that can stand up on its own, and this is a great choice. The olive green color is lovely, and the up cycled material is very nice - smooth and sturdy. I love that the lining is fully attached to the material rather than being loose and billowy on the inside. It's a good size, too - not too mini and not too maxi. Also, the little inside pocket is perfect for a phone, and the rings that hold the straps are perfect for clipping keys or items that you always reach for and have trouble finding in a larger bag."
9. A Better Blazer
Perfect for the girl with a capsule wardrobe, this oversized leather blazer is so buttery and chic you'll want to top every look with it. Equaly perfect over casually and dressy looks, it's so good you may end up gifting it to yourself. And since this climate-friendly gift transcends seasons and is well-crafted enough to last for generations, it’s worth the higher price tag.
GREAT REVIEW: "So IN LOVE with this blazer! The amazing quality is evident and it’s so well constructed. I know this will last me for years and years and years. 10/10!!"

Keep your phone and cards close and accessible while enabling them to be hands free. Bonus points for making an eco-conscious choice by opting for this upcycled accessory. GREAT REVIEW: "Perfect when you need to pare down to just the essentials on the weekend (and small enough to throw into a larger tote for weekday commutes!)"
