Product Description A smaller version of the Water Moon Satchel, the Water Moon Cross Body is the perfect size for on-the-go. The shoulder strap can be added to wear cross body or detached to carry as satchel. The unique pleated detailing of the bag is reminiscent of the rippling waves of the ocean. The shape was inspired by the moon, a key element in the ancient science of alchemy. Lightweight, scratch-resistant and long-lasting, the exterior is made of an innovative vegan leather. The interior contains two pockets and the lining is made from recycled plastic bottles. For an added touch of elegance, this cross body features matte gold round handles, engraved with the Alkeme Atelier logo. Alkeme Atelier plants a tree for every bag sold. Care & Info MATERIAL: Developed by advanced research, Alkeme Atelier's signature vegan leather is responsibly engineered to outperform standard animal leather. While it has a similar appearance to leather, it's cleanable, longer lasting and almost one-third the weight of its animal counterpart. Vegan leather is scratch-resistant, high in strength and water-repellent, making it an immensely durable material. LINING: The handbag's interior lining is made from a polyester created out of recycled plastic bottles and produced in a factory that has Global Recycled Standard certification. Each lining uses about ten plastic bottles, preventing them from becoming ocean pollution or planet waste. By buying this bag you are taking a small step to help keep our oceans and planet clean. DUST BAG: Every handbag comes with a dust bag made from 100% natural and biodegradable bamboo fiber. The antibacterial and odor-free properties of this textile make it the perfect protective layer for your handbag. However, you can also choose to use the dust bag as a shopping bag or reusable tote as each bag has sturdy straps attached to wear over your shoulder. The material is also produced in a factory that has Global Recycled Standard certification. Sizing Width: 30cm Height: 19cm Depth: 7cm Meet The Designer Alkeme Atelier is an American brand founded in 2019. The inspiration comes from the ancient science of alchemy and the process of transforming and combining the four elements (earth, water, fire and air) to create something new. This idea of breaking down and rebuilding materials led to producing handbags with plant-based and recycled textiles. The exterior is an innovative vegan leather that is lightweight, water-resistant and composed of mainly recycled fabrics, such as discarded clothing. Utilizing recycled textiles helps to minimize waste and reduce the amount of toxic gases released from garments that were disposed of and would otherwise end up in landfills. The interior is made from recycled plastic bottles, cutting down the amount of natural resources needed for production. Each handbag saves 10 plastic bottles from ending up in a landfill, or eventually, the ocean. Alkeme Atelier plants one tree for every bag purchased. The goal in taking these conscious steps is to help protect the planet and cultivate an ethical and sustainable future for fashion.
