Why Relying On Carbon Offset Credit Programs Isn’t Enough

It’s great that carbon offset programs exist (when they’re functional), but in order to create lasting environmental change, we need to go deeper.

Rethinking Holiday Shopping to Incorporate Longevity and Sustainability

This holiday season, we’ll be thinking about how to give our loved ones gifts that last. Take a look at our plan for more thoughtful gift-giving.

The overarching impact of our holiday shopping depends largely on not only how much we buy, but what we buy. Cheap, mass-produced products are able to exist because low prices are prioritized over the wellbeing of the planet, and sometimes workers and communities too. Giving those types of products as gifts runs contrary to everything we think gift-giving should be about.

Plastic in Fashion Is the Fossil-Fuel Issue We Should All Be Talking About

The fashion industry has a huge plastic problem.

It’s nearly impossible to be a consumer today without being aware of the harmful presence of plastics that exists throughout myriad industries. We hear about plastic bottles tumbling through the waves of Earth’s oceans, plastic shopping bags carried along in the breeze of every large and small town, and plastic straws from millions of iced beverages choking our landfills. In these instances, plastic is visible and tactile. It’s obvious.

How MODHER Created a Vegan Leather Handbag — With Zero Plastic

Why create a vegan leather handbag?

Most vegan leather pieces on the market today are made from plastics, and their full lifecycles — from creation to retirement — are harmful to the environment. When our founder, Gianna Caravello, learned about a new plastic-free, plant-based material creating buzz in the world of sustainable fashion, she was intrigued. 

Produced by Natural Fiber Welding (NFW), MIRUM® is a high-performance material made of all-natural ingredients. MIRUM uses absolutely no plastic, and while it complements leather, its plant-based material is 100% vegan.  

Our Commitment to eco friendly and sustainable materials
Our mission at MODHER is to keep our environmental impact as low as possible, while crafting our handbags with the most sustainable materials and ethical manufacturing.
