Cactus Leather Handbags

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The WEEK/END Bag Has a Vegan Leather Exterior & Eco-Suede Inside

— December 10, 2020 — Eco
The WEEK/END bag by Frida Rome features cactus leather by Mexican brand Desserto and an Italian vegan eco-suege lining to match on the inside. The vegan-friendly crossbody bag is designed in a mindight black color with gold stud accents that offset the textured leather alternative.

Appealing to travelers and minimalists who like to tuck products away when not in use, the bag is designed to pack flat into a custom-made dust bag so that it takes up only a small amount of space when stored. The deconstructable bag is touted as a vegan handbag with an edge, and a conscious yet luxurious design.

The luxury vegan handbag was recently launched on Indiegogo, where it met its inital crowdfunding goal in less than two hours.
