After making the shopping bag in recycled material, FANT decided to make an “adult” luxurious leather bag and used the leftover leather to make a small treasure-bag. Same shape, but translated into traditional leather craftsmanship. The thick and soft leather which is used as a sustainable approach: organic tanned, which means free of chrome. Besides this, the tannery is the first in Austria who has a CO2-neutral system. The raw material (cow) is sourced from the European Alpine region, which is reflected in the natural and elegant character of the leather. Different tints and minor imperfections are characteristics of this natural product. The bags are lined and with a simple zip-pocket inside. The combination of unique, playful details and organic quality leather gives this bag the FANT appearance.
