Sustainable Bags: here you can find your favourite design.
"Handmade in Europe, the bag models combine elegant design and sustainable materials. The models, which are produced in small series, can be traced back to a 100% sustainable value chain and are free from animal components. As a vegan brand, this claim runs through the entire company and so the focus is also placed on this endeavor in the packaging and all other steps. MELINA BUCHER's bags are scratch and dirt-resistant and equipped with smart features that offer space for organization. The classic products surprise with an inner lining made of organic cotton in a colorful design and offer the wearer a surprising sight."

6 sustainable labels that everyone wants to wear now
"A good handbag has to be made of leather? No way! MELINA BUCHER proves this with her sustainable designs, which are not only vegan but also completely plastic-free - and can hold a candle to any sinfully expensive luxury bag. However, ecologically fair materials are only one thing; the designer also focuses on transparency, innovation, short transportation routes and certified production. With their stylish designs and sustainable character, these bags make our hearts beat faster in two ways."

Vegan leather: 6 alternatives you should know
The material MIRUM®, which was developed by Natural Fiber Wedling, contains no plastic and is 100% bio-based. A textile carrier, such as cotton or organic cotton, is used for production and treated with a coating made from various plants and minerals. The patented process enables production without synthetic components and does not require any water during production. In addition, the vegan leather alternative can be mechanically recycled and processed into new MIRUM® - the ideal prerequisite for working on circular products. So far, brands such as Pangaia, Camper, Allbirds and BMW as well as the vegan bag label MELINA BUCHER are working with it.
