ABOUT NOIRANCA

Our Different Vegan Leather

Our bags are crafted with our signature PETA-Approved Vegan Leather, which consists of 58% recycled elements, an eco-alternative and more bio-degradable over time, compared to other traditional synthetic leather. No exotic skin, fur or leather will be ever used in our designs.

We hold the ethos of full-on sustainability – not just by heart, but also by actions.

Consciously leather-less.

Where material is sustainable, traceable and animal-free.

Working with a 50-year-old family atelier on vegan leather bags, our collection of bags transcends beyond its quality, into profound heritage and culture. The 30 artisans – all with expertise and rich experience in leather-making – are the people who bring NOIRANCA bags to life, if not at its finest.

"It’s real people, real hands, behind each NOIRANCA."

Artfully Sustainable

We believe it is time that we incorporate “earth” in the fashion culture. Through rewriting the core elements that make a classic bag, we embrace traceability, transparency, and positive consumption. Every move of ours is rooted in our respect for the earth, from limiting waste to upcycling, to sourcing sustainable leather and using state-of-the-art machinery. Through maintaining a digital-only approach and avoiding the use of express air freight, we are minimizing our carbon footprint as much as possible. Manoeuvring the balance between sustainability and fashion, we are giving back to our planet without compromising on quality – a step closer to achieving carbon neutral.

DESIGN INSPIRATION

ALTHEA

Alpha Power

ALTHEA

Alpha Power

Known for her charm and power, Althea Gibson was one of the first black athletes to cross the line in the white-dominated scene of international tennis. With utmost dexterity, Gibson throbbed the court fetching trophies after trophies, leaving the world spellbound. There she, like no other, rebelliously created her own legacy in black tennis. It was in the thick of racial segregation when Althea rose to fame with her agility in tennis, alongside her defiance to the unjust societal system. Forever an icon, not only was she a fabled black tennis player, but a historian in black tennis.

ALTHEA is the ultimate statement for the women who are bound to, or already have been, creating legacies. As an ode to Althea Gibson, the unique triangular silhouette glows with untamed confidence that excavates the potential in women – the alpha power.
