Vegan leather continues to grow in popularity as more consumers are educated about the leather industry and its cruel treatment of animals. 

As we become aware of and head in the direction of a sustainable and compassionate lifestyle, it is no surprise that vegan leather has made many technological advances whereby some clothing items and handbags look and feel very much like real leather.

However, the majority of vegan leather is still produced using PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or PU (Polyurethane). Both PVC and PU are by products of petroleum and therefore made from plastic polymers.

Plastic, as we all know is not bio-degradable and chances are every bag or clothing item manufactured using PVC or PU to date, possibly still exists today in some landfill on this planet!

Karuna Dawn's Vegan Leather Range - And it's not Plastic!

Our incredibly popular range is made from Teak leaves in Northern Thailand. These leaves aren't even pulled from the tree but they are dried mature leaves that have fallen to the ground.

This range is incredibly stunning with each bag carrying the pattern of the leaves making every single piece truly unique and special.  You can find out more about how it's made here.
