No. 49 is committed to help free our planet from plastic pollution and preventing it from entering the sea and ocean. For every No. 49 Handbag sold,  2 pounds of plastic will be collected. We care about this planet and use sustainable, PETA-Approved Vegan materials such as apple leather, bamboo leather, raffia, recycled polyurethane.

Secondly,  we want to end animal exploitation. Animals deserve to be treated with compassion and respect, and we will only choose cruelty-free materials. In addition, by opting for vegan fabrics over animal leather production, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint, conserving energy, and resources.

For every No. 49 Handbag sold a total of 10% of sales is donated. This includes 2 pounds of plastic being collected and diverted from our waterways in vulnerable areas via our partnership with Clean Hub; we offset carbon by donating to Tree Canada and purchasing carbon credits via Planet Air. We have also opted for carbon neutral shipping on all orders.

Together, with the support of our customers, our ultimate goal is to drive significant change in helping to restore ocean health, reduce waste, reduce carbon emissions and combat the climate crisis. At No. 49, we believe every small action can contribute to a more significant movement toward a more sustainable and compassionate future. When it comes to fashion, the choices we make matter.
