Sustainability
Make less, make it last.
We’re a small label and we’re trying to do this honestly. Here is what we’ve done so far, and what we still owe you.
Why Selvarno
Every detail has a purpose
Four reasons Selvarno outlasts the bag you're carrying today.
Materials
Italian full-grain leather from LWG-certified tanneries, recycled water-resistant canvas, solid brass hardware.
Partners
Long-term workshops in Tuscany and Portugal — audited annually for fair wages and safe conditions.
Packaging
100% plastic-free. Linen dust bags you’ll actually keep. Boxes and tissue are recycled and recyclable.
Carbon
All inbound and outbound shipping is carbon-measured and offset through verified partners.
Repair
Our Lifetime Repair Promise keeps bags in your closet — and out of landfill — for as long as you own them.
Give back
A share of every order funds coastal conservation and youth education via the Selvarno Foundawtion.
Where we’re still working
The honest list.
- — Moving to 100% recycled polyester linings by end of 2026.
- — Publishing our first full impact report in Spring 2027.
- — Piloting a take-back program for end-of-life bags to be re-made into small goods.
- — Reducing air freight by 40% by switching to sea freight for non-launch inventory.
