Why is James&Co different from other women's fashion brands?
At James&Co, we stand apart by offering head-turning, elegant styles that have never relied on animal leather. Since our founding in 2012, we've led the way in crafting outerwear and bags using only top-quality, cruelty-free fabric alternatives. Initially, we opted for vegan leather made from traditional polyurethane (PU) due to its lower environmental toxicity compared to PVC.

As the market evolved, so did we. We moved away from toxic PU, embracing partially plant-based synthetic leathers. However, these alternatives still contained some degree of PU, making the transition less than perfect.

Today, we are uniquely positioned as pioneers in the fashion industry, having replaced PU-based fabrics with truly sustainable, plant-based, plastic-free materials. 

The global trend towards holistic vegan and sustainable lifestyles is more than just a movement—it's a transformation.
Where are James&Co products made?
We believe in and practise supply chain transparency. Since our switch from tailoring in toxic traditional pu we have been re-building our supply chain. To source the best more sustainable eco leather fabrics from responsible suppliers and the best tailored products from responsible suppliers.
