NV London Calcutta
We are an ethical accessories company producing beautifully designed, handmade and highest quality, luxurious bags and accessories out of Calcutta, the East Indian 'City of Culture'.
Using the finest, locally sourced, natural materials such as butter soft buffalo hides and rich hand-spun silks printed with environmentally friendly dyes, we work in conjunction with a single World Fair Trade Organisation approved member manufacturer.
Our Collection takes you from morning to evening, week to weekend, work to play. Our handbags are unique, wonderfully versatile and instantly updateable. The removable leather handles can be replaced with our beautiful silk scarves to completely alter their look.
Fundamentally engaged in social change, we combine the best of UK design talent with the promotion of age old Indian traditions and crafts; supporting and championing marginalised producer groups and their artisan skills.
Through raising awareness of the importance of ethical fashion, utilising and promoting a sustainable business model which creates jobs and empowers those involved in the production of the goods, we aim to change the current perception of ethical accessories.
Ethical can be fashionable, desirable and chic. Our products are not only unique in design but also, and crucially, in the story behind them. We don’t ask that you compromise your social or style standards. We wouldn’t. We quite simply provide an ethical alternative to the things you love, bringing opportunity and a brighter future to those who deserve and need it most.
We hope that the quality and simplicity of the designs, patterns and materials speak to you and that ethical, sustainable fashion can at last be championed in a wholly stylish way.
