We at Anne Schollenberger are driven by one thing first: We want to show that high-quality fashion accessories also work in vegan, and that vegan fashion accessories can also be high-quality.

Why is this so important to us? Because, on the one hand, we are extreme animal lovers and don't want animals to die or suffer for our handbags, shoes and hats. And because, on the other hand, we know how harmful the production of animal leather is for our environment.

We not only want to contribute to animal welfare by not using animal leather, we also want to help animals that cannot help themselves or are even threatened with extinction.

Therefore, 4% of every product sold goes to the organization "Promis für Tiere".

CACTUS LEATHER

The main component of our first vegan collection is vegan cactus leather - a high-quality alternative to animal leather.

Cactus leather is a soft, elastic, adaptable, and breathable material. The production of cactus leather requires less water than the production of animal leather. Cactus leather saves 1,864.02% greenhouse gas emissions compared to animal leather and 164,650% water compared to animal leather.

The Snake material is a blend of recycled cotton, acrylic, and polyester fibers made from post-consumer fibers and upcycled ocean plastic, helping to free our seas from too much waste.

OLIVE LEATHER

Our second vegan collection is made from olive leather - also a high-quality alternative to animal leather.

Oleatex is a high-quality plant-based leather alternative. It is made from leftovers from the olive industry that can no longer be used for the food industry. Using these leftovers as raw material reduces the use of petroleum. The look and feel of Oleatex is similar to leather, just without the use of animal components. It is therefore a vegan alternative to real leather and more sustainable than synthetic leather.

Because leather production is extremely harmful to our environment and animals have to suffer or die for it.

Cattle farming, which is an important source of leather, contributes to environmental impacts such as deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions and high water consumption. We cannot ethically justify the factory farming and slaughter of animals for their skin. The animals are often kept in cruel conditions.
Tanning, the process that transforms rawhide into leather, often uses chemicals such as chromium, which are harmful to the environment and health.
Leather production requires considerable amounts of water, both for animal husbandry and for the tanning process. In regions with water shortages, this can lead to considerable problems.
The processing of animal leather requires energy, whether for animal husbandry, transportation or tanning. Livestock farming is a major contributor to the release of methane, a greenhouse gas with a significant contribution to climate change. Methane has a significantly higher greenhouse effect than CO2.

Cactus leather basically feels and looks like animal leather. Only without the many disadvantages for animals and the environment.
