Basic Information

Studio Beej makes sustainable and eco-friendly bags; the materials for which are sourced ethically without causing any harm to the environment. The brand is creating bags from cruelty-free materials including cork and Piñatex, fitted with upcycled and recycled trimmings and fastenings. At Beej, the team works with cutting-edge materials and combines them with Indian workmanship. The cork they work with comes from Portugal, home to the world’s largest cork forests. The bark of the cork oak is harvested very nine years, which is then used to make the fabric they use for the products. All their cork is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council that it is responsibly harvested without hurting the trees or forests. Meanwhile, Piñatex is made from the leaves of the pineapple plant and is essentially a by-product of the pineapple industry in the Philippines. It’s a natural, non-woven leather alternative. Apart from being plant-based, it’s also water-resistant, sustainable, about 90 per cent bio-degradable, and has a very low environmental impact. The fabrics used for the inner linings are made from post-consumer recycled yarn and is handwoven.
