5 Eco-friendly wardrobe staples from LaBante’s new collection

By Ellie Peach

The LaBante x Iris Collection is a collaboration created for people who love art and everything it stands for. Iris Scott is an artist based in the US and has inspired this collection for LaBante, which features a range of unique and vibrant bag designs using Scott's signature finger painted impressionism. By merging her paintings onto the straps, each bag is transformed into sculptures of wearable art.

The bags are stylish and eye-catching but also practical and functional, making them the perfect accessory for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a statement piece to complete your outfit or a reliable bag to carry all your essentials, this collection has something for everyone.

Each style in the collection is made from cruelty-free microfibre combined with recycled plant-based leather. Ten trees are also planted with each order making your vegan purchase carbon negative!

The three paintings included in the LaBante x Iris collection can be found here on the Iris Scott website. They are Wapiti, The Bosque and Ibex.

Iris Shoulder Bag in Green

The Iris is an iconic mini handbag named after the artist who inspired the collection.

Its multifunctional design allows you to glide between daytime to evening wear effortlessly. The bag includes an Iris Scott designer shoulder strap, a short detachable shoulder strap, and an inside zipper pocket for your keys or phone. Wear it as a long or short shoulder bag or even a clutch!

Style note; pair the Iris shoulder bag with a simple blazer and boots for a chic and classy look. 

Aurora Crossbody Bag in Black
