Coach's Sub-Brand, Coachtopia Is Making Designer Handbags From Waste Scraps

If there is anything that we have learned in the lifestyle sphere, it is that sustainability is the future. The fashion industry has been under scrutiny in the recent past for its practices that generate excessive waste, which impacts the planet. While some brands come under fire for their practices, some are getting praises for their clean and green approach. Curated with creativity and circular craft, Coach's new sub-brand, Coachtopia is all about turning waste and scrap to beautiful art. The American brand has been specializing in leather handbags, luggage, and accessories. They have now forayed into making a better and sustainable future with their sub-brand Coachtopia. They have ethical designs that are upcycled or recycled. The designs are equally trippy with floating cherries and star-struck mushrooms. The 70s inspired aesthetic also finds its way with a really cool checkered pattern.

A Closer Look At Coach's Sub-Brand Coachtopia

The fashion industry has been under analysis for their consumerist approach and wasteful practices. Taking a step in the right direction, Coach; after launching a new line called Coach (Re)loved, has further ventured into a sub-brand Coachtopia. While Coach (Re)loved featured recycled and repurposed designs, Coachtopia has a cleaner approach with products made primarily with waste. The brand has used its 80+ years of leather expertise to transform waste into beautiful things. Usually, scraps end up in landfills but the brand is taking a step toward thoughtful fashion that minimises waste.

Ergo is one such bag from the collection that is made with upcrafted or recycled leather scraps. The brand is working towards a more circular future through three principles that inform how they craft, design and reuse Coachtopia products. This is surely a bigger, bolder step towards the future of designer fashion.
