New Online Shop Opens for Plumethical Bags!
Plumethical.co.uk, a new ethical bag shop for beautiful men’s and women’s bags, has been opened online.
Plum Ethical’s bags are made exclusively from reclaimed, recycled and non-animal materials, showcasing the cream of luxury ‘green’ bag brands; The Rubber Cow Company, PlanetSilverChilli, Neumatica and E&KO.
Simon Garrett is the owner of Plum Ethical and says,” At Plum Ethical, we aim to show that ethical bags are also beautiful bags. Our bags demonstrate a return to artistry and producing beautifully crafted goods but using only sustainable resources, and without causing a detrimental effect on the environment.”
The shop offers practical day bags; from handbags and messenger bags
for leisure time and work, through to sleek holdalls and weekend bags
for travel and sports. Then, for a bit of dazzle in the evening, there
are a sumptuous range of delectable evening bags. Simon adds, “We
believe that fashion should play its part in recycling, and the bags we
sell are testimony that ethics and fashion can successfully mix.”
E&KO’s
striking red bags made from British decommissioned fire hoses offer the
durability required for daily use, but also make a stylish addition to
an outfit. (left) E&KO Tote Bag – £179.
For an
alternative to standard leather bags, the light trendy vegan bags from
The Rubber Cow Co., and Neumatica’s super-soft bags made from tough
reclaimed tyre tubes, make innovative and affordable substitutes.

PlanetSilverChilli
evening bags add a touch of glamour to an outfit for a night out, but
with the unusual twist that they are made of either re-used ring pulls
or recycled crisp bags. Their bags are hand-made, and no two are
exactly the same.
PlanetSilverChilli, Shimmering Square Bag – £35, PlanetSilverChilli, Funky Cocktail Bag (pink) – £30
