Leather, a material that has been cherished for centuries, continues to captivate us with its timeless appeal, durability, and versatility. While various methods of leather production exist, one particular method stands out for its artisanal craftsmanship and rich heritage: vegetable...

MODHER became a B Corp one year ago, and our anniversary feels especially celebratory, as this month is also B Corp Month — a chance for B Corps to share their stories, uplift each other’s voices, and bring new folks into the fold.

We provided our Elba tote bag in vegetable-tanned leather to two woman artists and challenged them to create something new. Their final pieces are imaginative and beautiful.

Craftsmanship is one of our core values in our sustainable and ethical brand. A small-batch productions and a short supply chain allow us to have in-person relationships with our artisans. This is how a passion for crafting, tradition, and purpose embedded in our handbags.

It’s great that carbon offset programs exist (when they’re functional), but in order to create lasting environmental change, we need to go deeper.

This holiday season, we’ll be thinking about how to give our loved ones gifts that last. Take a look at our plan for more thoughtful gift-giving.

The overarching impact of our holiday shopping depends largely on not only how much we buy, but what we buy. Cheap, mass-produced products are able to exist because low prices are prioritized over the wellbeing of the planet, and sometimes workers and communities too. Giving those types of products as gifts runs contrary to everything we think gift-giving should be about.

The fashion industry has a huge plastic problem.

It’s nearly impossible to be a consumer today without being aware of the harmful presence of plastics that exists throughout myriad industries. We hear about plastic bottles tumbling through the waves of Earth’s oceans, plastic shopping bags carried along in the breeze of every large and small town, and plastic straws from millions of iced beverages choking our landfills. In these instances, plastic is visible and tactile. It’s obvious.

Why create a vegan leather handbag?

Most vegan leather pieces on the market today are made from plastics, and their full lifecycles — from creation to retirement — are harmful to the environment. When our founder, Gianna Caravello, learned about a new plastic-free, plant-based material creating buzz in the world of sustainable fashion, she was intrigued. 

Produced by Natural Fiber Welding (NFW), MIRUM® is a high-performance material made of all-natural ingredients. MIRUM uses absolutely no plastic, and while it complements leather, its plant-based material is 100% vegan.  

Our mission at MODHER is to keep our environmental impact as low as possible, while crafting our handbags with the most sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing.

The launch of our newest piece, the Maya Crossbody, is the realization of another giant step in our journey. The most sustainable handbag we’ve ever crafted, the Maya pushes the limits of what’s possible in ethically sourced materials and meticulous craftsmanship, at the most approachable price point possible.

Growing up in Italy, MODHER Founder Gianna Caravello was surrounded by timeless beauty. Everything from the buildings to the textiles was built to last for generations. Italian items were old, and in their age, they carried stories and history that made them truly special and unique
