"Sustainability meets high fashion with Lost Woods, as the brand offers a variety of stylish and edgy handbags made from MIRUM®. The handbags are handmade in Portugal from premium plastic-free vegan leather. Lost Woods is a role model for the fashion industry when it comes to transparency. The brand name pays homage to all of the forests and wildlife lost to the traditional leather industry, as cattle ranching for beef and leather is the biggest driver of deforestation in the world."
"Did we say both animal-free and plastic-free? We sure did! Consumers are increasingly conscious of the impacts of leather. Luckily, in modern times we now have plastic-free and stylish alternatives. Lost Woods handbags display exceptional sophisticated style. The Lost Woods collection of luxury, vegan handbags offers a wide range of options, including edgy, sleek looks with your choice of silver or gold chain accents."
"Brands like Lost Woods invite us to rethink our fashion choices and embrace a world where luxury and compassion intertwine seamlessly. Lost Woods not only seeks to address animal welfare but also aims to tackle the detrimental effects of the leather industry on the environment. Crafted with exquisite precision in Portugal, Lost Woods handbags are redefining the concept of chic."
"You should have a handbag that mirrors your fierce personality, sky-high goals and stand-out style. Don’t be afraid to choose one that’s equally bold, with a super chic, colour, design or pattern. Your competitive side will love that this is better than most vegan bags, since it’s made of MIRUM®. This is comprised of 47% natural tree rubber, 26% natural fibres and fillers, 27% plant oils and waxes, backed with natural cotton."
"Animal-friendly luxury fashion is quickly wiping out the antiquated practice of supporting torture by wearing the skins and furs of animals. Lost Woods offers handcrafted vegan leather bags made of MIRUM, a plastic-free alternative to animal skins. The material is durable, water-resistant, and of excellent quality. These bags are Earth-friendly and made by a small team of artisans in Portugal."

MADE WITH MIRUM®
Handmade in Portugal
Portugal is famous for its exceptional quality leather goods, handmade by skilled artisans.
Our designer vegan bags are made near Porto, in a small workshop of about 20 craftspeople. Founded in 1975 by a young man with a passion for making bags on his sewing machine - the business is now run by his two adult daughters. Although retired, the founder still loves to come in, get back on the tools and spend time with the team. Some employees have been with the business for over 40 years.
Like all traditional makers, the team has worked with animal leather all of their lives. In the past, they were unimpressed with synthetics - but they were wowed by the beauty, feel and sustainability of MIRUM®, and are excited to be a part of the next generation of leather.
