Deadly Ponies presents a new vegan-friendly collection
Much to a delight, Deadly Ponies has just released a new ethically-minded collection, created from a plant-based textile innovation that is vegan-friendly leather. The capsule collection, named Cactus, is sourced from an organic cactus plantation in Mexico. With two years in the making, the material is a by-product of the pharmaceutical industry, using only natural rainfall and the sun as energy sources. Usually, bags are manufactured with synthetic and toxic materials that can’t be biodegraded, so Cactus has definitely changed the game for us bag-lovers.
