Poppy Barley's first vegan line, PB PLNT, introduces a trio of plant-based leather bags made with Laguaro cactus leather. The Multitasker Backpack, Convertible Belt Bag and Card Holder are made from environmentally friendly cactus leather that's 80% biodegradable, plus other carefully considered materials like cotton canvas, which are used to create the styles in solar-powered factories.
For the longest time, the brand's customers have been asking for a leather alternative but it wasn't until the brand came across cactus leather that it was confident in a high-quality, sustainable option. In the past, purchasing vegan leather accessories used to mean investing in products made with PVC or PU but a new wave of products are introducing innovative alternatives that are sustainable and mindfully crafted.
