SEQUEL London is a gorgeous new online haven for those in need of lust-worthy ethical leather bags!!
Inspired by a desire to reduce waste and encourage sustainable fashion, cousins Laura Queening and Claire Baigen set up Sequel London. The brand, launched this month, gives new life to carefully selected unwanted clothing from Oxfam Wastesaver. Recycled leather jackets, discarded silk ties and high quality unwanted curtains are cleaned, cut and remade to create a range of stylish, affordable and contemporary accessories.
Queening said: “Fashion can change so quickly, and often we see clothing that is in excellent condition, but wouldn’t be worn by the more fashion conscious among us! We only choose the best quality material, even if the clothing itself has long since passed its fashion sell-by date, and from that we make a new product, reducing waste and offering something different in today’s disposable lifestyle.”
The Spring Summer 2010 collection consists of a range of six designs, which are priced from £39 to £79, and offer bespoke, durable styles at high-street prices. Here at EcoGoddess we are loving the leather covered button detailing and the unique linings, all helping to make each bag completely unique! The removable silk tie handles are super cute and add a splash of colour. We likee!
All Sequel London accessories are made in London...of course!!
