Building a sustainable bag brand from olive leather would love your honest thoughts :)

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the founders of a small brand called beSeSi, and I’d genuinely love to hear perspectives from people with different backgrounds and experiences here.

We’ve already launched our first product, but honestly, we still see this as an ongoing process, something that evolves with feedback, awareness, and better decisions over time.

The idea behind the brand started with a simple question:

Can we create something aesthetic and truly sustainable without compromising either?

Our first bag is made from olive leather (a plant-based alternative), with a cupro lining (vegan silk). We’re trying to stay as conscious as possible, from materials to how we approach production.

We’re also intentionally producing in very limited quantities, rather than scaling fast, trying to avoid overproduction and stay more responsible in how we grow.

But sustainability means different things to different people, and that’s exactly why I’m here.

I’d really appreciate your thoughts on things like:

What does “sustainable” mean to you when it comes to fashion?

Do you care more about materials, or transparency in production?

What makes you trust (or doubt) a small brand talking about sustainability?

Does limited production actually matter to you as a consumer?

I’m not here just to promote, I’m here to listen, learn, and understand different perspectives.

Any honest opinions, critiques, or even harsh feedback are more than welcome.

Thanks for reading <3
