Claire Vivier pairs up with Melissa Coker of Wren to create an environmentally-aware capsule collection.
Reduce, reuse, recycle: ever considered the old adage could adopt a feline-friendly approach? When Clare Vivier, an environmentally-minded Los Angeles-based accessories designer, started the hunt for locally-sourced cheetah-licious fabrics, it was on her friend and fashion cohort Melissa Coker, of the similarly West Coast line Wren, that she pounced. Fusing conserved scraps from Wren's fall line with vegetable-tanned leathers and suede, and crafted entirely in the City of Angels, the duo created a chic capsule collection with two spotty bags fit for any eco-conscious catwoman. The resourceful collaboration is available exclusively at the designers' e-boutiques, but fear not, dear cubs—at prices under $300, everyone can go a little green. How's that for a carbon paw-print?
