Sophie Tote
£800
A structured tote in apple leather, lined in fabric spun from recycled bottles. London-designed, and the only brand in our catalogue whose supplier code is already written down.

85 or above, both gates clear, and an audit on file earns the Good badge. A further 35 points sit waiting on evidence only the brand can give us.

How we know
Assessed from LaBante’s product pages and its published supplier code. Impact figures on the brand’s sustainability page carry no date or method, so they earn nothing here.
