In particularly Berlin-based lingerie brand Anekdot who design their products around the left over fabrics they have available, not the other way around.

Another brand featured is Dutch label Elsien Gringhuis which has sustainability at its core. Each item is produced to order in the Netherlands, meaning absolutely no over-stock or waste, and styles are available for just as long as the fabrics last.

Watson and Wolfe
For The Stylish Man...
What Can We Find In This E-Shop: Watson & Wolfe were the first UK brand to create luxury, cruelty-free and sustainable accessories for men. Their range of classically-designed products include wallets, card holders, travel pouches, belts and wash-bags made from innovative future fabrics including vegan leather derived from renewable corn resources and linings made from recycled plastic bottles. They source the finest quality materials from eco-conscious suppliers and put an emphasis on fine craftsmanship. The brand will soon be launching a cactus leather capsule as well as, due to popular demand, a range of bags for women!
What we love: The brand boasts a wealth of experience from the luxury leather industry, but during the research and development phase, they uncovered for themselves the true and frightening realities of the leather industry. This led to the personal decision for founder Helen Farr-Leander to move to a plant-based diet and to develop Watson & Wolfe as a vegan business instead. The brand’s range of leather-alternative products are butter-soft, meticulously designed, beautifully finished and hard wearing too. In addition, almost every product in the range can be personalised to add that special, bespoke touch, making items perfect for gifting.
