For consumers who want to be ethical and stylish at the same time, this vegan leather bag collection proves to be a good starting point. Conceptualized by Toronto-based designer Ela Aldorsson, the capsule is made available to Canadians through the eBay. This move is indicative of the e-commerce platform's move to a more fashion-forward business model.
The bags are made with ethically sourced materials, while the lining is crafted with 100% recycled plastic bottles. The luxury-focused and accessible vegan leather bag collection by ela is the brand's first installment of sustainable and animal-safe products. Many more are expected.
Moreover, the collaboration promises to make a difference as eBay and ela will be donating all proceeds to Canadian nonprofit Evergreen which is dedicated to "transforming public landscapes into thriving community spaces."
