Biodegradable Banana Bark Bags
FOReT Creates Sustainable, Plant-Based Fully Biodegradable Bags
Laura McQuarrie — August 26, 2023Indian vegan fashion brand FOReT creates sustainable vegan accessories, including fully biodegradable bags made from banana bark. These standout fashion accessories are made by harvesting bark from the tree without disrupting it, and then extracting the fibers to form twine. The brand recently dropped a collection of biodegradable banana bark bags that are uniquely crocheted, including styles like the Moon Crest Clutch + Sling + Waist Belt Bag and the dramatic Mystic Cascade with chains and oversized tassels.
With the demand for sustainable alternatives to leather and petroleum-based pleather on the rise, there's a pressing need for innovative plant-based materials that align with eco-conscious values. Brands are increasingly turning to nature to source materials that not only meet the demand for stylish accessories but also contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion industry.
