Indie – Eco-friendly shoulderbag

At Smateria our goal is to help you find the perfect bag or accessory that meets all of your needs whilst allowing you to creatively express yourself. One that is functional, stylish, lightweight, sustainable and ethically made using unconventional materials.

Smateria, a social enterprise owned and operated by two women, creates with unusual materials and designs them into innovative and fashionable bags and accessories, using recycled materials wherever possible. Smateria works with new repurposed nylon net, diverted from its original function in the fishing and construction industries, upcycled offcuts of leather and recycled hand-crocheted black plastic bags. In most of the cases, they line their bags with upcycled fabrics from factories and use new YKK brand high quality zippers.

Smateria has a clear mission to employ Cambodian workers in a fair and sustainable way, where employees are treated well and priority is given to the employment of women and mothers.
