This vegan tote bag made from cactus keeps you organized in a chic way
A new level of responsible luxury
Innovation is at the root of the KAAI brand.
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 active lifestyle of the contemporary KAAI woman.
After researching and testing different plant-based materials, we came across a material that can barely be distinguished from the leather version of the KAAI bag. A luxury work bag made from Cactus.
Organized bag Organized mind
This tote bag is the best companion for women with active, urban lifestyles. 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". With a padded pocket you're sure your laptop stays safe while carrying it around.
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 has the same look and feel as the leather versions of the Pyramids with an organized interior with inner pockets & outer material that can withstand the wear and tear of an everyday bag. On top of that, the material is very resistant to water and scratches.Â
IT'S DIFFERENT IT'S PLANT-BASED IT'S CACTUS
The production process
The cactus material undergoes a special production process rooted in Mexico.
Step 1:Â mature leaves are selected and carefully cut (ensuring that the cactus itself remains undamaged).
This sustainable practice allows for a new harvest every 6-8 months, promoting the longevity of the cactus plants.
Step 2:Â after the harvest, the mature leaves are naturally dried for three days.
This step eliminates the need for additional energy consumption, aligning with eco-friendly principles.
Step 3:Â once dried, the leaves are transformed into a fine powder,
Step 4:Â the fine material is later turned into cactus leather in Italy, where the know-how for leather-making lies.
Desserto cactus leather
For the vegan version of our bestselling Pyramid bag we're collaborating with Desserto. With their highly innovative cactus-based leather they're the pioneers in non-leather materials.
For years they took their time to perfect the cactus material used for the vegan Pyramid bag to turn it into the durable and high-quality material that it is now.
Meet the founders of KAAI
"Before launching KAAI we both worked in a C-level position in the fashion and retail industry. We constantly rushed from one meeting to the next and travelled a lot for work.
During our careers, we were desperately seeking a handbag that could handle and ease our hectic lifestyles.
We decided we could do better ourselves by merging design and functionality into a KAAI bag."
