New, Old Blog
Posted on | July 30, 2010 | 1 Comment
We’ve moved our blog. And then we moved it again. The old posts are here, at http://plumethical.com/Plum-Ethical-Bag-Blog/, but we’ve just completely re-done our site (even thought it looks quite similar) so we moved the blog too.

Finding Ethical Fashion Handbags
Posted on | July 10, 2010 | No Comments
As you might have seen with our previous blog articles, we don’t hide away when we’re having a tough time. This problem of finding a really ethical fashion handbag is not easy to solve.

When Is a Vegan Bag a Vegan Bag?
Posted on | December 7, 2009 | No Comments

They didn’t have to tell, us but they did because they are good people who really care about these things. This was because they’d found that the [...]
