Q: What is the LaBante Serene Wallet?
A: The Serene is a designer zip wallet from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011. It's made from textured plant-based vegan leather, with no PVC and no animal hide. It's PETA-Certified, and handcrafted by women artisans in India and Portugal under SEDEX-audited conditions.
Q: What can the Serene hold?
A: Eight card slots, a phone spot, a zip coin section, and two note sections. It fits a lot in one place.
Q: How long will the Serene last?
A: With normal use, the Serene lasts for years. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Serene peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No. It's made to avoid the smell and cracking common in cheap vegan leather.
Q: Is the Serene water-resistant?
A: It handles light rain and small splashes fine. If it gets wet, wipe it dry and let it air dry.
Q: How do I clean and store the Serene?
A: Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Keep the zip and coin section free of debris. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.
Q: Does the Serene have a hidden message inside?
A: Yes. "And she persisted." is tucked inside, a small, meaningful detail.
Q: Is the Serene an eco-friendly wallet?
A: Yes. It's made without animal parts. It ships in a plastic-free linen gift box.
Q: What is LaBante's returns and warranty policy?
A: 60-day returns from the date you buy it, and a 1-year warranty on every product. Returns are free in the US and UK.
Q: Is the Serene a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. Most people can't tell it apart from real leather. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or buy it at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
