What does the name Giarité stand for?

Born in 2020 during a pivotal moment in the industry, Giarité is more than a brand name—it’s a vision for ethical, purpose-driven fashion.

What materials are used in Giarité handbags?

We are committed to crafting eco-friendly handbags using high-quality, cruelty-free materials that reflect our values of conscious luxury. Our primary material is recycled vegan leather (PU), selected for its reduced environmental impact compared to virgin plastics or animal-based leathers. While recycled PU isn’t the final word in sustainability, it’s a far more ethical choice than conventional synthetics often labelled as “vegan leather.” As an independent brand, we continue to invest in sourcing better alternatives—materials that honour both innovation and responsibility. Our crystal collections feature premium rhinestones, recycled satin linings, and custom hardware from trusted suppliers. Each handbag is thoughtfully made to embody modern elegance, ethical intent, and refined craftsmanship. Giarité isn’t just about luxury - it’s about luxury that reflects your values.
