In the world of fashion, sustainability is no longer just a buzzword; it's a movement. At The Fair Trader we are proud to stock small independent brands that are at the forefront of this movement, designing products that are not only stylish and practical but also kind to our planet. One such brand is O My Bag.
Making a Splash in the Media
The brand has even been featured on The Drew Barrymore Show.
The Georgia Uppeal™ Bag was featured on the show, not just for its stunning design, but also for its functionality and planet-friendly materials.
Crafted from Uppeal™, an innovative apple waste-based alternative to leather, this bag perfectly embodies the future of sustainable fashion. Since introducing Uppeal™ to their collection in 2019, it has remained a beloved vegan alternative, offering the same luxurious look and feel as traditional leather—without the environmental impact.

Stylish and Practical Designs
O My Bag is renowned for its chic and functional designs. Each bag is crafted with the modern consumer in mind, blending timeless style with everyday practicality. Whether you're heading to the office, a weekend getaway, or a casual outing, O My Bag has a design that fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
Sustainable Leathers
What sets O My Bag apart is their commitment to using sustainable leathers. Unlike conventional leather production, which can be harmful to the environment, O My Bag sources their leather from tanneries that adhere to strict environmental standards. This means that the leather is produced with minimal impact on the planet, ensuring that each bag is as eco-friendly as it is beautiful.
Earth-Friendly Tanning Methods
The tanning process is a crucial step in leather production, and O My Bag is leading the way with their earth-friendly methods. They use vegetable tanning, a traditional technique that utilises natural tannins found in tree bark, leaves, and other plant materials. This method not only reduces the use of harmful chemicals but also results in leather that ages gracefully, developing a unique patina over time.
Empowering Communities
Beyond their environmental efforts, O My Bag is dedicated to making a positive social impact. They work closely with local communities in India, where their bags are produced, ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions for all employees. By choosing O My Bag, you're not only supporting sustainable fashion but also contributing to the well-being of artisans and their families.
