A decisive shift in ethical luxury with the debut of the \u2018VAJRA\u2019 handbag, the signature piece of Sanyukta Shrestha SS26 collection, \u201cThe Newars, 1901,\u201d at London Fashion Week.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This groundbreaking accessory, crafted entirely from mango agro-waste, seamlessly integrating innovation and ethical craftsmanship, the ‘VAJRA’ is set to be the next “IT bag.” It’s the world’s first handbag<\/strong> to combine sustainability with spiritual significance, featuring a meticulously hand-carved Vajra handle<\/strong> by artisans in Nepal, which directly preserves ancestral craft and supports local communities. The bag is exquisitely crafted from Aamati Green<\/strong>, a proprietary, durable, plant-based leather alternative made from mango agro-waste<\/strong> from India. Up to 40% of India’s 20 million-ton annual mango harvest is wasted, releasing potent greenhouse gases. Aamati Green transforms this discarded material using innovative biopolymer solutions, avoiding plastics like PU and PVC. It is 100% cruelty-free, plastic-free,<\/strong> uses minimal water, and biodegrades faster than conventional vegan leathers.<\/p>\n

Named after the Vajra<\/strong>, the bag carries deep spiritual significance. This powerful symbol from South Asian traditions, central to Nepal’s Newar culture, represents the indomitable power of a diamond and the irresistible force of a thunderbolt, perfectly capturing the philosophy: “Sustainability meets spirituality.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I want the woman who carries a VAJRA bag to feel more than just elevated and stylish; I want her to feel a sense of inner power rooted in holistic conscious living. This is a blissful feeling I am ready to share with every woman in the world.\u201d – Sanyukta Shrestha<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ‘VAJRA’ bag is a peace messenger and a tool for conversation, carrying a critical message of environmental awareness. Furthermore, Shrestha has pledged to dedicate 10% of all proceeds from the ‘VAJRA’ bag to preserving ancestral Nepalese crafts and to a charity supporting the education of homeless orphaned children. The launch signals a major, impactful trajectory for the global fashion industry.<\/p>\n
