#12: People Who Just Begin with Vivian Morellon Serrano of Palinoh a Sustainable Brand Designing Vegan Handbags Made From Cactus! Nov 15, 2021

Meet Vivian Morellon Serrano the founder of Palinoh, Vegan handbags made from Cactus. Born from a need, Palinoh products deliver a truly sustainable option for those looking to rock “leather products” without sacrificing their values.

For a long time, the majority of the vegan leather products available have contained PVC or other plastic components. While these materials are cruelty-free, we found it counterproductive that these options were also harmful for the environment.

Palinoh wanted to create a designer product made from natural materials, using as few resources as possible. Through research and conversations, they decided to use Cactus for their "leather" textiles as tribute to their native country and to support the local communities that benefit from this new industry.
