This holiday season, celebrate the art of gifting with a meaningful touch. As we enter the season of giving, it's important to reflect on the impact our choices can have on the planet. Find inspiration in our curated selection of thoughtful gift ideas, and discover gifts that carry unique stories that your loved ones will love retelling.
Are you looking for an impactful present for your partner, friend, mother, sister - or even yourself? In the spirit of mindful gifting, we've carefully curated a selection of our wallets, pouches and totes that not only carry your essentials, but also your values. Each piece has its own story to tell, from its materials made from waste destined for landfill, to its nature-inspired colour and London street-inspired name.
Designed to last well beyond the festive season, our bags and accessories are all handcrafted in very limited runs here in the UK - in Stratford East London, Melton Mowbray and Somerset. This, along with using only materials made from waste, helps to keep the carbon footprint of our bags as low as possible (in fact we’ve calculated that it is up to 87% less than a high street equivalent made from virgin materials).
For every item sold, we also plant a tree through our partnership with Tree Nation, contributing to the restoration of our planet.
Wick Cardholder (Vegan)
This season, discover the gift of simplicity with our Wick Cardholder, thoughtfully handcrafted from AppleSkin™, a leather alternative derived from the leftover apples of the juicing industry. This unisex design with five card slots is a perfect stocking stuffer, making it an ideal choice for anyone on your holiday gift list.
Oriel Wallet (Unisex Zip-Around)
Unwrap the Oriel Wallet, a classic zip-around design - also a perfect stocking filler. Crafted in smooth grain recycled leather and lined with AppleSkin™, it's a stylish and functional choice for both him and her. With multiple card holders, a coin purse, and room for notes, this wallet brings convenience and elegance to their everyday life.
Our Jude wallet is available in a variety of colours and textures, so you can find the perfect match for your loved one. Perhaps they’ll love the super tactile and irregularly textured silver PIÑATEX® with its festive shimmer (plus it’s vegan-friendly).

All options offer ample space for your cards and coins, making this a practical and timeless gift with a conscious twist.
Give the gift of versatility and style with the Elia Phone Bag. Its minimalistic design, inspired by our iconic totes, creates a perfect harmony between fashion and function.
