let's talk about sustainability...

We should care about our Planet because it is our home and we need to respect and protect it. 

One of the main causes of environmental pollution is fast fashion, not only the huge production of cheap quality clothing and accessories that can be thrown away after minimal use but also the impact from fashion brands, that flow from one catwalk to another, just to capture the trend of the moment and sell. 

Another aspect to be considered, is the way that many materials are produced and manufactured. The processes often cause water wastage and the release of toxic chemicals in the water circle and landfills. In regards to the production, a lot of brands manufacture their products in countries where they don’t pay workers a living wage, causing ethical issues as well. Material production, manufactures and selling points add additional pressure to the environment because usually they don’t belong to the same geographical area.

Packaging, whilst amazing for brand recognition, represents another big impact because of the materials used, usually plastic, shiny cardboard and for the wastage connected to it.

It’s time to slow down...buy carefully and enjoy a timeless style.

Margherita Bolzoni Handbags mission is to create handmade handbags crafted by artisans, with strong, quality materials that last forever. They are sturdy which means they can follow you in all your daily activities! Also, they don’t follow the seasonal trends and are customisable, so that you can update your style without any wastage!!

The main material of our handbags is real leather, metal accessories and fabrics. Even if not completely sustainable, the skin used to make leather comes from animals raised for their meat. In addition to this, we only use companies that are certified to promote sustainable environmental practices. All the materials come from areas close to the manufacturer, minimising the impact on our Planet. 

We don’t support unethical work and all pieces are crafted by skilled Italian artisans. 

Margherita Bolzoni Handbags decided not to have any packaging to reduce our waste! Each handbag comes with protection cloth, that will keep it protected.

Tell us what you think! We are always happy to improve our approach to sustainibility!
