Sqwirl Crafts Durable Accessories Made Using Washable Paper
Michael Hemsworth — July 21, 2020 — Eco
Vegan leather is a cruelty-free material that has gained popularity as of late but is still problematic given its plastic profile, which is being solved with products like the Sqwirl bags and accessories. The Hamilton, Ontario-based brand crafts eco-conscious accessories that are achieved using a durable German-made paper material that is thin yet super sturdy and even washable. The structured design of the accessories give them the illusion of truly being made from folded paper, but with an inherently more durable aesthetic that is ready for years of daily use.
The Sqwirl bags and accessories are achieved with the materials laser-cut in Toronto before being hand-assembled in the Hamilton factory to ensure the utmost attention to detail.
