Today’s consumers want to know the story behind their products. The conscious carry movement is about choosing bags that align with values of ethics and sustainability. This starts with traceability—knowing where and how the materials were sourced and who made the bag.
Ethical sourcing ensures that:
- Natural materials (like wool, cotton, or leather) come from farms that practice animal welfare and regenerative agriculture.
- Synthetic materials are recycled (e.g., from ocean plastic or PET bottles) to reduce virgin plastic production.
- Artisans and workers throughout the supply chain are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions.
Brands committed to this often provide transparency reports and certifications (like Fair Trade or B Corp). By supporting these practices, we carry not just our belongings, but the promise of a better, more equitable industry.
