Veganologie's fully recycled vegan leather handbag is made with PU leather and faux suede lining created from recycled plastic bottles. Every component of the sustainable handbag is made from 100% recycled materials that are GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified and a single bag helps to repurpose about 11 plastic bottles.
To create these handbags, discarded plastic bottles are collected and cleaned, then chopped into pieces for flaking and melting. At this point, the material is ready to be turned into PU leather or made into polyester yarn and knitted to form a working fabric.
The newest line of vegan leather and faux suede handbags from Veganologie uses fully recycled materials and it also shares three crossbody bags, two wallet styles and cardholders in various colors.
