About The Company

Get the ins and outs

Majavia focuses on sustainability, minimalism and individuality of their products. Rather than using up new resources to create products, they commit to using existing natural resources. Their products are therefore made from durable recycled animal leather. Additionally, they sell the bag straps separately so you can create new looks without buying a completely new bag.

“To create products that remind us of the beautiful in the little things and emphasise the conscious use of the environment”

Their products are made from recycled animal leather to avoid the need to use plastics to create new raw materials. They collect off-cuts from the fashion industry, which gets shredded and mixed with natural rubber. Animal leather is durable and lasts a long time, and their methods end up in zero manufacturing waste.

They try to avoid overproduction by having a ‘pre-order’ scheme, where they adapt their production to the demand of an item.
