When it comes to sustainability, many contemporary handbag brands claim to use eco-friendly leather, but often it's just a marketing tactic. The production process is far from green, involving numerous chemicals that never decompose, creating lasting waste for our planet. This low-quality PU leather typically deteriorates within 2-4 years, ending up in landfills. Unsold inventory from these brands also goes straight to landfill, making the entire concept of "eco-friendly" questionable. Europe is currently considering legislation to ban "greenwashing" in leather production, and we hope for positive developments soon. - This vintage Celine Tote Bag is crafted from vegetable-tanned leather, which is durable and uses superior materials, far surpassing the quality of PU leather. My favorite feature is its generous drop length, offering a comfortable, non-restrictive fit when worn, allowing for freedom of movement! - Vintage Celine Tote Bag [Origin] Made in Italy [Dimensions] W(32) H(26) D(11) Drop Length(31)cm [Condition] Good overall condition with normal signs of leather wear; strap is slightly dry (see image 7) - Before each pre-owned handbag is sold, it undergoes a four-step restoration by a professional artisan: 1) Cleaning and Stain Removal 2) Surface Scratch Repair 3) Hardware Re-polishing 4) Application of Leather Cream Restoration aims not to erase all traces of time, but to honor and extend its historical narrative.
