UMBRO KAIXI is coming soon to [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-carriers) and will be introducing itself as a start-up with an innovative handbag system that's interchangeable, sustainable and cruelty-free.

The idea for UMBRO KAIXI started with a scenario that many consumers are likely familiar with—purchasing an expensive item and then wishing to exchange it for another color or style. With UMBRO KAIXI, the handbags help to save people from having to transfer all of the items inside to a different bag, as the designs can simply be altered by making the desired customizations. The [interchangeable bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercurius), Luna and Mia, are made with [ethical and eco-friendly vegan leather](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegan-leather-purses), appealing to consumers who love being able to express themselves in a sustainable way.
