All of our bags are handcrafted from nopal cactus leaves. This alternative leather is a highly sustainable plant-based vegan material. It is harvested in a fully organic cactus plantation in Zacatecas, Mexico. Cruelty-free, sustainable & durable without any toxic chemicals, phthalates, and PVC. Compared to traditional leather, it achieves an 88% reduction in carbon emissions. It is partially biodegradable and has the technical specifications required by the fashion, leather goods, and furniture industries. At Vannesa Rossi, we use this material to replace the use of animal leather and other synthetic materials that are not environmentally friendly.
