ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS: ODDCAT’S GUIDE TO SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

Say Goodbye to Negative News - Hello to Sustainable Style!

There’s only so much negative news you can hear and Oddcat is No Negative Nancy! So what’s the good news, you wonder? Congratulations, now that you’re here, you’ve taken the first step to understanding sustainable luxury.

And our “sustainability style” is different. It’s not your same old traditional block prints with faux leather (which at most places is a hogwash) or run-of-the-mill made in China products that are fast fashion and fast deteriorating. Welcome to our world of eco-friendly materials where we are changing the world (and so are you) with one bag at a time. Doesn’t it sound wonderful and straight out of a fairytale romance? Guess, we still love romance and why not when we are literally creating fashion with #handmade love. Le sigh! Happy Days.

Rattan: Where Our Love Story Began

Our foremost and first love started with rattan natural material and it was the very FIRST handbag that was designed and made at Oddcat with such love that it continues to remain our premium bestseller and also our founder’s most loved bag. And the love story continued as we created a range of rattan bags combined with reclaimed leather surplus from fashion factories. A pivotal moment as it led to the classic yet iconic handbags that were handcrafted with TLC and we are always so proud to pass on our so-called legacy handbags to you. A unique frill clutch that carries your phone along with other little things, sturdy totes that pack a punch to your everyday look and beautifully combine boss and boho-glam look with pure class.

Raffia: Beach to Brunch, Effortlessly 

Machine raffia as well as paper raffia bags are yet another bundle of accessories that take you from beach to brunch with such ease and grace that you perpetually feel you’re walking the world, with purpose. Nothing more powerful than that feeling more so when you blow them cards on guilt-free shopping. Saving the planet and elevating the wardrobe, no brainer ! From beach totes to brunch totes to breezy evenings, we have got you covered, girl. Keep scrolling for sheer genius, ingenious handbags.

Reclaimed Leather: Luxury Without the Guilt

Often people feel, leather is no good unless of course Chanel, Hermes or Louis Vuitton are calling it luxury goods and you’re compelled to break your bank and break your husband’s heart. Ouch, two birds with one stone somehow is really heartbreaking in this scenario. But, Oddcat is the leather luxury you should feel proud to spend bucks on (considering the damage is nowhere close to ‘em luxury brands) because our leather has been reclaimed, repurposed, recycled and rendered to absolute perfection of handbags. Let’s just say, we came in like a superhero and saved the day (and your money) by offering you leather accessories whose longevity and is its luxe factor.

Vegan Leather: Actually Ethical (No Greenwashing Here!)

So much brouhaha around faux leather and all kinds of vegan leather that are basically repackaged plastic and people are blindly believing these fake claims of fake leather. But there's a big BUT (not the one you’re thinking of), our vegan leather is certified and tested in labs to qualify as SAFE vegan leather that has been ethically sourced to create pocket-friendly handbags with many pockets to pocket all your needs. So when Oddcat brings you a collection of bags or versions of vegan leather bags (only to accommodate your religious beliefs), we are truly proud that we went through this process only to create something meaningful for you.

Join the Oddcat Movement: One Bag at a Time

Now that you’ve got the gist of sustainable luxury with eco-friendly materials at Oddcat, we only wish you’ll join our community and become a proud ambassador of circular fashion with Oddcat. So, wait no more, procrastinate no more because you are truly changing the world, one bag at a time.

And if you’re still not convinced, please read all our other blogs where we have deeply explained leather, luxury, sustainability and so much more. So much knowledge is being shared at Oddcat because somewhere deep down we believe “shopping is therapeutic” to you and can be to the world, as well. 

And just like that… we’re “Overdressed and Conscious At”!

PS: Hope you got our “and just like that” reference from Darren Star’s Sarah Jessica Parker aka Carrie Bradshaw series. We are obsessed. More on that later.
