Everything is made in Germany or has a certificate of origin if it is second hand. In both their male and female lines they’re using as much organic, recycled and sustainable materials as possible. And they’re also reusing recycled men’s shirts for their product line. www.vildesvaner.com

Purchasing their produce bags means that you will never have to deal the annoying problem of useless plastic supermarket produce bags. They also make folding backpacks as well  as biodegradable doggy doo and rubbish bags.
