Why did you first start your business?

Have you noticed any trends in your industry since you started this business?
Beth: ‘Eco’ is becoming more sought after in the fashion world and is a growing sector which is beginning to have more design sense to it.
What is your vision for your business?
Beth: To bring eco-friendly bags into the world that are so well designed that no will be able to tell the difference between them and other, non-eco-friendly, designer bags. To be zero carbon, zero waste, and always tres chic.
What’s been the biggest challenge for you?
Beth: Finding a variety of beautiful eco-friendly leathers

Where can someone find your products?
Beth: BethSpringer.com and better boutiques
