"A KAAI bag made from a vegan alternative to leather has always been on our minds. Throughout the years, the look and feel of plant-based materials have improved a lot. After researching for a year, we’ve found a cactus-based leather matching the values and quality KAAI is known for”

A new level of responsible luxury
Innovation is at the root of the KAAI brand, with new ideas flowing through our veins all the time.
About a year ago the search for an alternative to leather started. The durability & resistance of the material was the most important feature, to match the on-the-go lifestyle of the contemporary KAAI woman.
After researching and testing a whole lot of plant-based leathers we came across a material that can barely be distinguished from the leather version of the KAAI bag.
A bag made from Cactus leather
The demand for a vegan leather bag came from the existing community of #KAAIwomen.
The first vegan drop consists of the bestselling styles Midi Pyramid and Pyramid in Cognac and Black.
The plant-based bag have the same look and feel as the leather versions of the Pyramids with the organized interior with inner pockets & outer material that can withstand the wear and tear of an everyday bag. On top of that, the material's also very resistant to water and scratches.
IT'S DIFFERENT IT'S PLANT-BASED IT'S CACTUS
Same KAAI look and feel
The Pyramid bag is the best companion for the woman on the go. It comes with 2 outer pockets and multiple inner pockets to hold your(work) essentials like a laptop, phone, glasses, charger cables, pens and paper, makeup, water bottle, and more.
The Midi Pyramid can hold a laptop up to 13.5" while a Pyramid can house one up to 15.6"
While being very scratch- and water resistant, the cactus alternative to leather is also soft to the touch providing the luxurious experience of a KAAI bag.
