DIALOG LTD are producing some wonderful high fashion bags and accessories both glamorous and fun. They operate as Fairly Traded (*) and are designed by Cassandra Postema and Dong Shing Chiu. (Please see “Our Designers” note on the website) Both designers manufacture ethically. Their creations are truly lovely with 100% animal friendly (vegan) materials. Dialog bags have been reviewed in TATLER, VOGUE, COLLENZION, THE BBC AND NEWCONSUMER.
The texture and designs of these bags are very much in demand throughout the world and are truly unique. Unique by the way they are created, using quote: “a recycling technique from Malaysia that incorporates small origami folded squares of mixed scrap squares”. (quote from Dialog) Please see the detail.
Dialog are working with local charities and communities providing women empowerment initiatives schemes, that benefit whole communities, where the women flourish and new skills are acquired. The end result being the production of these beautiful products that have a unique texture; leather and suede like without the cruelty – who needs leather when we can acquire such fabulous alternatives.
