Fashion, Evolved

Canopy Verde is the next up-and-coming eco-friendly handbag company. With simple, clean lines and versatile colors the collection lends itself to pan-seasonal use that conscious consumers are now looking for. The bags are made from organic cotton and bamboo, chrome free leather, and chemical free dyes for the fabric and embroidery main website, where they are also available for purchase.

In 2007 Canopy Verde launched and has had great success in both online and boutique sales. The creator of Canopy Verde is Linda Wong, an ambitious new mom who has worked for both Fila and Cole Haan before deciding to strike out on her own in to the world of Eco Fashion. Wong was raised in a traditional Chinese household and was taught from infancy how to conserve.

“My family was eco-friendly before it was hip,” she told me in an interview. “We saved and reused everything. Waste was just not a part of our life. Then I went to Brown [University] where sustainable living was part of the culture.”

Canopy Verde bags are made in China, but the company is part of a group of revolutionaries who are bringing sustainable manufacturing practices to the country. Having been raised to Taiwan and immigrated to the U.S., Wong is in a unique position to bring the vision of ethical manufacturing, organic materials, and sustainable products to the Chinese market.
