New dA-LaTA bags are here!
Posted on | November 13, 2009 | No Comments
We’ve just started (today) to sell a new line of very special bags by new company dA-LaTA. Currently we’ve only got three of their range of bags, but if they go well will certainly be expanding to pretty much the full range of bags that they sell! The bags that we’ve got are basically evening [...]
Vegan Issues

Recently I have mostly been learning not to be smug. It’s taken a while, which is why there have been no posts for a few days. In my last post I was very pleased with myself that Plum Ethical is a totally vegan store. Then one of our suppliers wrote to us to tell us [...]

Men’s Bags

We’ve been amazed how popular our men’s bags have been. We’ve only got four Plum Ethical man bags, but I guess the quality has been shining through. It’s gratifying after the hell careful selection process we go through that people like what we have to offer. Example: We’ve just done a show (here in Aber, [...]

We’re going to try an offer. We might regret it, so it might not last long! The idea is that you buy a bag from us (we like this idea so far) then you get your friend to buy a bag too (we really like the idea now), then you send us your friend’s email [...]
Plum Ethical is Now a FREE Postage and Returns Site
Posted on | August 8, 2009 | No Comments
…For the UK, at least. We’ve been thinking long and hard about this. Until today, we charged UK customers £5 for the delivery of each package, which is cost price for a one kilo package. Moreover, we had actually rejected free postage because we thought it would encourage increased carbon overheads. However, we’ve noticed that [...]
Recycled bags from OlovesM

Breaking News! (I think I have to say that to show excitement when presenting new news?) We have just put in an order with clever US recyclers OlovesM. They rescue material heading for land-fill and make really great bags, and they do it themselves, which means there are no worries about worker exploitation, despite the [...]

We’ve just got back from “Pure” in London. It’s a major women’s fashion show, and quite a few bag companies show there, and quite a few ethical companies show there too. The Rubber Cow Co. are both a bag company and a very ethical company who are strongly animal-free and vegan. I was looking forward [...]
