?? The Story Behind #TheEdenBag ?? Some of the best ideas start over a shared passion, and a few cups of Glühwein (German mulled wine). ???? "This collaboration came to fruition while sharing some Glühwein over the dinner table. Seeing the passion that Christine had for bringing sustainable products to market sparked the inspiration to develop this custom material. Working with LUCKYNELLY – BERLIN is and will always be a pleasure." — Megan Beck, Business Development Manager at Rheom Materials From that first conversation, to The Eden Bag’s showcase at Berlin Fashion Week, this project has been a testament to what’s possible when #innovation and #craftsmanship come together. Made with #Shorai, our 93% biobased leather alternative, The Eden Bag embodies the paradise of #luxury fashion when ethics and elegance go hand in hand. Would you carry a luxury bag made from #biobased materials? We’d love to hear your thoughts! ??
