Ok so firstly I thought it only proper to introduce myself to avid blog readers. My name is Maddie and I am the newest member of Team Substance. I started a few weeks ago as an Intern and I am currently working on the April Design Lab Collection of vegan re-purposed Espe bags. Because of my recent up-close and personal work with these bags, I thought it would be a nice opportunity to talk about the Espe products and what makes them special.
Espe is a Toronto, Canada based company that produces 100% cruelty-free, animal free, purses that feel and look just like leather and suede, for about 1/4 of the price of a leather bag. You might be wondering, since these bags are polyurethane, aren’t they bad for the environment? Wouldn’t owning a leather bag be more environmentally friendly? Not with these! Espe doesn’t create or release any of the toxins that leather tanning and coloring releases into the environment.
So whether you are a vegan, or a rare steak kind of a girl, you can know you are buying a product that is cruelty-free, green, and stylish for all the years to come. Be sure to check out the website for the new April Design Lab Collection of bags coming soon! OH! and if you love the idea of green, vegan products, check out our new Melissa Shoes below!
