OUR SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY
About
we're lovers of animals and earth
Cruelty-free is at our core; we say no to any suffering. Ever-leaning towards sourcing more recycled materials, we see the world through planet-coloured glasses.
Urban Originals is designed in Sydney and manufactured in China with our long-standing partners.
We regularly see all our factories for ourselves, and only put our energy behind those that are ethically operated.
We’re also SEDEX approved, and deal solely with department stores with ethical sourcing programs. There’s no such thing as selective ethics; we aim to do good with no exception.
We are always working towards improving our standards. We have moved towards new lining which is recycled post-consumer GRS certified.
The nylon we use on our bags is 100% recyclced GRS certified.
Our swing tickets are made from paper sourced from responsibly managed forests. This paper is biodegradable,uncoated and uses eco friendly inks. Our polybags are made with recycled material.

choose kindness
All our handbags and accessories are animal free. We only use high quality vegan leather. We do not support any kind of animal exploitation or cruelty. We operate with a strong stance on the protection of our environment, the health and safety of our customers and our manufacturers.
OUR MATERIALS
Whether we’re talking about an animal or the planet – causing harm is not okay. Vegan leathers are now so top-drawer, by touch, it can be impossible to tell a leather look-alike from the real thing.
MORE INFOCERTIFICATIONS
Our bags have been ethically created to ensure the safest labor practices and the responsible management of natural resources.
