A smaller version of the Water Moon Satchel, the Water Moon Cross Body is the perfect size for on-the-go. The shoulder strap can be added to wear cross body or detached to carry as satchel. The unique pleated detailing of the bag is reminiscent of the rippling waves of the ocean. The shape was inspired by the moon, a key element in the ancient science of alchemy. Lightweight, scratch-resistant and long-lasting, the exterior is made of an innovative vegan leather. The interior contains two pockets and the lining is made from recycled plastic bottles. For an added touch of elegance, this cross body features matte gold round handles, engraved with the Alkeme Atelier logo. Alkeme Atelier plants a tree for every bag sold. MATERIAL: Developed by advanced research, Alkeme Atelier's signature vegan leather is responsibly engineered to outperform standard animal leather. While it has a similar appearance to leather, it's cleanable, longer lasting and almost one-third the weight of its animal counterpart. Vegan leather is scratch-resistant, high in strength and water-repellent, making it an immensely durable material. LINING: The handbag's interior lining is made from a polyester created out of recycled plastic bottles and produced in a factory that has Global Recycled Standard certification. Each lining uses about ten plastic bottles, preventing them from becoming ocean pollution or planet waste. By buying this bag you are taking a small step to help keep our oceans and planet clean. DUST BAG: Every handbag comes with a dust bag made from 100% natural and biodegradable bamboo fiber. The antibacterial and odor-free properties of this textile make it the perfect protective layer for your handbag. However, you can also choose to use the dust bag as a shopping bag or reusable tote as each bag has sturdy straps attached to wear over your shoulder. The material is also produced in a factory that has Global Recycled Standard certification.
