Made by Hand, Made to Love: Our Promise

At R&E Made to Love, a bag is never just a bag. It’s a reflection of what the brand believes: that fashion can be beautiful and responsible. That what we carry can say something—not just about our style, but about our values.

This belief lives in every detail. From the way each piece is made, to the materials chosen, to the hands that bring it to life.
 R&E is committed to doing better, for the people who carry its bags, and for the world we all share.

 

Design that Begins with Purpose

Design at R&E is about more than aesthetics. It’s about creating pieces that feel just as good to wear as they do to stand behind.

Each silhouette is made to be functional, versatile, and rooted in everyday ease. But there’s intention behind the style, bags are kept minimal so the materials can speak. Finishes are refined, so nothing feels wasteful or overworked. Every curve, clasp, and stitch are there for a reason.

Because when something is made with care, it’s felt in the way it carries.

 

Made with Better Materials, Made with Less Impact

The difference begins at the source. Unlike traditional leather, which is linked to animal harm, deforestation, and chemical-heavy tanning, R&E uses plant-based, bio-based materials like corn leather and upcycled crop waste.

These alternatives are cruelty-free, petroleum-free, and consciously chosen for their lower environmental impact.
 They are durable, soft to the touch, and beautifully textured without leaving harm behind.

It’s not just about replacing leather. It’s about redefining what “luxury” looks like when compassion and innovation lead the way.

 

A clear intent is stitched into every R&E bag: thoughtful design made without harm to animals or the planet.

One of R&E’s core promises is clarity. The brand doesn’t use vague sustainability language or empty labels. Every material is researched. Every claim is intentional.

There are no hidden plastics disguised as vegan. No processes that quietly undo the good they promise.
Just a commitment to better alternatives, and the refusal to trade one harm for another.

Fashion shouldn’t come at the cost of animals, or the planet and at R&E, it never does.

 

Crafted by Hand and Rooted in Respect.

Each R&E bag is handcrafted by skilled artisans who understand the rhythm and patience of true craft.
There’s no mass production. No rushed timelines. Just the quiet dedication of people who treat every piece as something worth making well.

This human touch doesn’t just make the bags stronger. It makes them more meaningful.

It’s a kind of craftsmanship that respects both the maker, the wearer and that’s what makes it last.

 

Giving Artists a Platform Through Co-Creation

R&E believes fashion should create opportunity. Through its Co-Creation program, the brand collaborates with independent artists and illustrators, giving them a platform to express their work on bags designed to travel the world.

This is more than decoration—it’s representation. Artists are paid fairly, credited openly, and supported fully.

Each collaboration adds not just beauty to the product, but depth to the story that every person who carries an R&E Co-Creation piece carries that story forward.

 

A Brand That Carries More Than Just a Bag

R&E Made to Love is built on a simple, steady promise:
To create consciously.
To uplift quietly.
To never forget that design, when done well, can be both personal and powerful.

Each bag is made by hand, from materials that do less harm, with values that last longer than any season.

That’s the promise R&E carries—one piece at a time.
Made with intention.
Made for the planet.
Made to love.
