Designer Mónica Santos Gil on stepping into sustainable fashion.

"When the pandemic hit and we were sent to work from home, I finally had the time to develop my idea [for the brand]. My priority was to create bags that were long-lasting—something you could wear everyday and for years to come. I began doing research and came across cactus leather. I was struck by how amazing the product was as an alternative to leather. Then, I began prototyping the bags at home [in NYC]. In September of 2020, I launched the first collection for pre-order on social media.

"We try to make our brand the most eco-friendly it can be. Our hang tags are made out of biodegradable seed paper, embedded with wildflowers and hemp cording. A plant will grow if you plant the paper in a pot of soil. We also use compostable stickers and tissue paper. For future collections, I am looking into a fabric made from bananas that is apparently 100% biodegradable.
