3 Vegan Leather Bags in 1 | Deep Sea & Cloud

Created for the hectic lifestyle of the contemporary fashion lover, The Morphbag is an innovative three-in-one vegan handbag set. The clever and luxurious design includes a reversible tote big enough to carry a laptop, textbooks or shopping, plus a crossbody bag and wallet clutch with a handy wrist strap.

Described by Eluxe Magazine as ‘The only handbag you will need in your wardrobe’ (when awarding them their Best Slow Fashion Brand award in 2020) and featured in Cosmopolitan as ‘Best Travel Bag', this versatile set offers four styles and can be used in 14 different ways. They've also been awarded Best Ethical Fashion Brand 2021 by Eluxa Magazine.

The Morphbag by GSK is the every-day handbag reinvented with added versatility. This set of colour-coordinated accessories is easy to adapt to the seasons, your wardrobe and your lifestyle. This unique set is sustainable in its DNA thanks to its versatile concept for use and styling as well as being ethical and sustainably produced.

About the Founder

Creative Director and designer Giovanna Sessi-Knott is Italian and based in London, UK. Giovanna was raised in a fashion-industry family and grew up with an innate predilection for style. Prior to the launch of The Morphbag by GSK, Giovanna had a successful international career with a renowned London-based interior design firm.

As a working mother, Giovanna always felt challenged with the limitations of choosing a traditional everyday bag. Inspired by her own experiences of work and travel, Giovanna set out to redefine everyday accessories to create a set of three sustainable handbags, with particular attention to durability.

“I believe that it is totally unnecessary to use hide leather for handbags - not only for the negative environmental impact but also in terms of quality and look. The Morphbag's mission is to lower the carbon footprint of livestock farming and contribute to a more sustainable future - with no compromise to quality or style.”

Materials

The bags are crafted from a luxury polyurethane leather – which has been proven to have a smaller environmental impact than animal leather - that has been coated and textured to obtain the same pebble grain as cow leather. The lining in the cross-body bag is made from recycled water bottles. PU leather has a reduced environmental impact in production than hide leather. The Morphbag is also working with The Conscious Fashion Campaign, making the UN's Sustainable Development Goals key in their business plan.

People

Giovanna herself regularly audits the company's factory in Guangzhou, Northern China, to ensure human rights standards are ensured. The factory is also regularly audited by verification and inspection company SGS. Business practices, working conditions and safety of labour, fair wages and working hours are monitored throughout the production process.

Production

Committed to minimising their environmental impact, The Morphbag have partnered with OneTreePlanted and its Amazon Rainforest Reforestation project – the brand plants three trees for every Morphbag order. As the Amazon rainforest is one of the areas that suffer the most due to the negative ecological impacts of cattle farming, the brand treasures the opportunity to restore this part of the Earth that has been badly damaged by the leather trade. The brand is also in the process of moving their production to the UK to minimise their carbon footprint.

Packaging

All packaging used is made from recycled paper and cardboard – each material is personally chosen by Giovanna.

Animals

Dedicated to creating a planet-friendly, cruelty-free alternative to leather, the brand is PETA-Approved Vegan.

As a marketplace, we sell many beautiful vegan and sustainable brands – but we don’t hold stock, so when you order a product from us, the item is shipped from the brand directly. This eliminates needless carbon emissions and use of resources from not having to have the item packaged and shipped to us, and then repackaged and shipped out again to the customer; and not having to run major warehouse operations in addition to those of our brands.

If you have purchased multiple items from different brands at the same time, each item will be sent separately and directly from each individual brand.

We manage all customer communications, so if you have any questions or issues with delivery of your item, please contact us at customers@immaculatevegan.com.

Damages

Please see our Returns Policy

We hope you love the items you buy from us; we take the utmost care in ensuring our brands and products are of a high quality. Additionally, as shipping goods has an environmental impact, we hope to minimise returns by giving you as much information as possible about each product. 

However, we understand that from time to time things might not be quite what you expected. So here is our policy and instructions if you ever need to return a product:

Immaculate Vegan is a multi-brand marketplace. That means that we offer products from different brands based in different countries. So you need to return your item directly to the brand supplier, not to Immaculate Vegan.

If you want to return an item, you need to inform Immaculate Vegan, not the brand. Please email us at customers@immaculatevegan.com. You have 14 days to inform us of your desire to return an item, and then a further 14 days from the date you notify us to send back the item.

We will email you a returns form with the returns address for that brand.

All items returned must be in their original condition – unused, unworn, unwashed, in the original packaging and with original labels and any hygiene stickers attached. All beauty products must be unopened, with all seals in place. Unfortunately, our suppliers will not be able to accept any items that fail to meet these criteria. 

What can be returned?

Any item – regular priced or sale price – may be returned and refunded. This includes items purchased with a promotional or discount code.

Return costs

If the supplier offers free returns, a Free Post sticker or code will be included in the packaging.

If the supplier does not offer free returns, you are responsible for packaging up the item and posting it back at your own cost. In this instance, we recommend a signed-for and tracked delivery with proof of postage. This is to ensure that if an item goes missing, it can be tracked.

The exception to this is when the item is faulty, in which case the brand is responsible for paying for costs of returning the item. Please inform us if you receive a faulty item as soon as possible, by emailing customers@immaculatevegan.com.

Any delivery costs or import taxes you may have had to pay to receive an item cannot be refunded by us upon the return of that item.

You are responsible for any item being returned until it arrives back at the supplier.

It is your responsibility to fill out any customs declaration form correctly. When filling in the customs declaration form, please consult with your post office personnel how to declare a return exempt from import duties. Otherwise the brand may be charged customs import taxes, which they will deduct from your refund amount.

Processing your return

Once your returned item is received and inspected, the supplier will notify us, and we will then send you an email confirming this.

If your return is approved, your refund will be processed. We aim to refund you as soon as we can, once your returned item has been processed by the supplier.

We are legally obliged to ensure your money is refunded within 14 working days of receipt of the returned goods in a saleable condition.

Please note that original shipping costs are not refundable unless the delivered item is faulty.

Exchanges

Most of our brand partners allow exchanges, although some only offer a return and refund. If you wish to have an exchange, please contact us at customers@immaculatevegan.com.

Duties

If you have had to pay import duty on a purchase, then you may be able to reclaim that from your local tax office, if you return the goods. Immaculate Vegan is not responsible for any additional customs and taxes applied to an order.

Returns & Damages

Immaculate Vegan is not liable for any items damaged or lost during delivery. If this does occur, please let us know and we will contact the brand and then follow up with you.
