It’s cool to be kind – nab yourself a vegan leather handbag from Sans Beast
Having trouble shopping for a cruelty-free clutch or crossbody? Ethically made and animal-friendly vegan leather products are still hard to come by, but Australian label Sans Beast is changing the game (and the material). The boutique label offers fashionable and functional vegan leather handbags and accessories that will last you a lifetime – and won’t rob an animal of theirs.
The label is the brainchild of Cathryn Wills, the former managing and creative director of Mimco, who after living and breathing the world of leather handbags for over a decade, adopted a vegetarian diet in mid 2015. Cathryn quickly recognised a disconnect between her professional role and her ethical stance on animal welfare and the environment. Thus the birth of Sans Beast, a collection of satchels, pouches, backpacks, totes, wallets and bag charms that uses absolutely no animal products.
All Sans Beast products are designed and manufactured with ethically credible and quality materials, with the driving idea that each bag is to be treasured, collected, shared and up-cycled. The Sans Beast handbags take on a classic shape with eccentric details like custom hardware and trimmings, offering a stylish, unique and cruelty free fashion alternative. The label walks its talk and gives back to animals in need by donating all gross profits from sales of the spirit animal bag charms to Edgar’s Mission, a not-for-profit animal sanctuary in Victoria that cares for more than 450 rescued residents.
You can shop the full range of Sans Beast products through the brand’s online shop.
