Kantala, the Messiah of Vegan Fashion Accessories is Now Available Globally
Leatherette has dominated the vegan fashion accessories sector as an alternative to leather. However, leatherette is a petrochemical material detrimental to the environment. While vegan and environmentally friendly, canvas fails to radiate a sense of personality and sophistication. Mass manufactured, both materials lack the exclusivity of high end leather thereby failing to appeal to consumers outside the vegan movement. The limitations of leatherette and canvas has continued to hold back the adoption of vegan options in the world of fashion.
The hana plant grows naturally in the arid and mountainous regions of Sri Lanka. Leaves are harvested and hand scraped to extract a very fine, white colour fibre. The fibre, once dyed with plant matter or OEKO Tex 100 certified dyes, is handwoven using a loom that has remained the same for over three centuries. Together with the hana mat Fair Trade Guaranteed handloom, Pinatex (a pineapple fibre based leather alternative) and up-cycled coconut shell pieces are used to complete every Kantala handbag.
