Sustainability hits home because as parents, we always are talking to our kids about climate change. We have to do our best to preserve nature for them.”
As the fashion industry moves increasingly in the direction of sustainability, Dagne Dover has emerged to meet consumer demand. The eco-conscious brand creates bags, backpacks and wallets with a functional minimalist design built for today’s modern lifestyle, able to transition easily from work to play to travel.
