About FERRON
‘The two most important days of our life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.’ – Mark Twain
Our “why” started out in 2018/19, with a mission to start a business that allows us to be creative and enables us to be talking about what we’re passionate about. And when asked ourselves as to what purpose behind it is important to us to get out there, the answer was simple- it’s sustainability and animal cruelty- free way of living without compromising on quality.
As avid animal lovers, after realising there wasn’t a fashion brand that offered moderately priced, quality handbags that were animal-friendly AND learning about the devastating impact the fashion industry has on animals and the environment, we decided to invest our time and resources in cruelty-free handbags made of the same quality you’d expect from European luxury brands, FERRON.
We’re a creative, independent designer brand. We are different, we are very transparent. Our chic and classic Signature collection blends effortlessly into your wardrobe. We have your everyday needs covered, with a luxury finish and full of compassion. We want you to love our bags as much as we do!
FERRON means “iron-grey hair, or one who is habitually dressed in grey” <
The iconic elephant logo is not only an expression of my love for animals and our support of wildlife protection projects such as Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s elephant orphanage in Kenya (please head over to “FERRON X SWT” tab for more details) , but also a statement against cruelty in fashion.
We are taking the steps towards building a compassionate and cruelty- free future. You can too. Come join us!
Love,
FERRON
Best vegan handbags in the UK
FERRON is a vegan designer brand that celebrates a cruelty-free lifestyle. We believe that beautiful handbags add a little bit of luxury into our daily lives, and that through fashion we can express love for all animals.
The purse is one of the most functional, hard-working accessories sitting in our closet. When we purchase the handbag we need to consider not only its look but ensure its versatility, longevity and value. A luxury handbag should look and feel expensive. It should make you feel confident and proud of your investment. And that is what FERRON stands for.
Vegan leather bags: because the future of luxury is vegan leather. FERRON is made of animal cruelty- free materials and reduces the environmental impact we have on our planet. We are committed to not using leather or any other animal-based materials in our designs.
We stand behind our product- beautiful and high-quality handbags that are cruelty-free and sustainably made by artisans that are astonishing at their craft.
Love All Life – Animal Friendly Handbags. We make a statement against animal cruelty in the fashion industry. We support wildlife protection projects. We provide vegan leather bags that are better for the environment (they are better for your wallet, too!). FERRON unifies love for animals with artistry of luxury.
The future of luxury is not leather
‘I couldn’t tell the difference from a real leather bag’ – is the highest compliment that I have received. And you really just can’t! But the real beauty of FERRON is that you will always be able to tell the story of how it’s made differently than leather bags derived from animals.
As a vegan designer brand, we want to create stunning bags that you will fall in love with. Our first choice for materials is purely based on principle, starting with animals in mind. Therefore, we opted for the bio-based Polyurethane (PU) and microfiber that provide the luxury feel of real leather without harming a single animal.
The exterior of the bag is structured, yet perfectly imitates the soft feel of pebbled leather that you would expect from a luxury leather bag. The lining is made out of microfiber, which is durable, yet smooth to the touch.
And yes, I wish I could say that synthetic alternatives are already perfect and come with no environmental concerns. While this is not the case yet, new technologies will soon provide plant-based leather alternatives that are 100% biodegradable. Until that is possible, I want to demystify the environmental impact of synthetic alternatives and compare it to leather made from animal skins.
At this point in time, PU leather has less than half of the environmental impact than leather derived from animals.
This is the outcome of two major studies within the fashion industry. The first study, Pulse of the Fashion Industry, was published by The Global Fashion Agenda, in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group and came to the following conclusion:
FERRON stands for beautiful and high-quality handbags that are cruelty-free and sustainably made by artisans that are unbelievable at their craft. The handbags come to life thanks to a small, family-owned manufacturer based in Guangzhou, China. They purely focus on craftsmanship.
We are open to look into transitioning to recycled material if it is beautiful and would allow us to make nice products out of. As soon as natural leather alternatives don’t require us to compromise on quality and longevity, we will probably be using it.
What seems to be quite confusing to all fashion lovers and customers at this stage is that those materials are still being developed, tested and piloted and not available to every brand to purchase. One of the latest vegan leather trends- Piñatex, though plant-based and pretty sustainable in itself, as an end product has petroleum- based coating added, hence it’s actually not biodegradable. And it’s not as easy to work with. Besides, it is not as strong and I don’t quite like the look of it. It’s just not a material for my brand.
Similarly, an apple leather, despite the lovely name, still has 50% PU in it.
