I am always on the lookout for new accessories. Brownie points, if the new accessory is all about sustainable fashion and is cruelty-free. So when Jord reached out to me for a partnership, for their new accessory, I was excited. Suberhide Vegan Leather Wallet. Many of you might remember that I have partnered with Jord in the past, with their wood watches. Yes, they are the same company whose wood watches sparked a global trend and started an industry. This is what they do. They take materials that no one ever dreamed would be used on an accessory and find ways to make it work. Suberhide bags are the new wood watches.
Jord (pronounced Yode) is a family-owned based in St.Louis, which is striving hard to make conscious fashion the rule, and not the exception. Fashion does not have to choose between being luxurious or eco-friendly, it can be both, at the same time. At Jord, they seek to create wearable pieces of art, that are inspired by nature and made with natural materials.
These unique purses are made of vegan leather. Yes, you heard that right. The Suberhide collection by Jord, are made of cork-infused vegan leather. Cork is only one of three trees in the world, which can be stripped of its bark, without drying out. Unlike most trees, cork has the ability to regenerate its outer bark.
Suberhide as a raw material is known for its notable qualities:
Resists scratching and tearing
Hypoallergenic
Water-resistant
Flame retardant
Anti-static
Highly elastic and maintains shape after compression of creasing
Resistant to staining
As many of you know, I have a weakness for the color Red. Yes, red lipsticks are my instant pick me up, any time of the year. And according to my BFFs, red outfits are meant for me. So when I saw a cruelty-free and sustainable wallet in red, you know I reached out for it. Eila is a medium suberhide wallet with 8 card slots and a change pouch. Its a fabulously chic option whether you choose it for light travel, or as a clutch for an evening out. I might have opted for the color red, but Eila wallets are available in a variety of muted and accent colors and finishes. Did I tell you that its just the right amount of space for your cards, your lipgloss, other basic goodies, and even your phone! Ain't that neat!
I loved the play of textures in my unique purse - Elia by Jord. You can't miss the quintessential cork-like texture paired with a more patent leather-like texture. It is lightweight, trendy and yet very sturdy. I am one of those people who stuff their wallets like anything, and I can tell you that this stood up to that challenge pretty good. The branding is on point and even the zipper pull is monogrammed with Jord insignia. Just like the Jord wood watches are a conversation starter, I can tell you that this will be the same.
If all of this wasn't enough, they added the most luxurious packaging. Honestly, when I got my wallet, I felt it was Christmas in Spring! Every wallet comes in its own plush drawstring dust bag and a premium quality gift box. So whether it is for a birthday, anniversary, Christmas or even Mother's Day this packaging is just picture-perfect.
