Pansy Maiden was founded with an activist spirit and one heady goal: To create and provide the world with fashion-forward, cruelty-free bags in a socially responsible manner. Laura Collins, Founder, designs and hand-constructs every single Pansy Maiden bag in her Medford, Massachusetts studio using only cruelty-free components. To her, "cruelty-free" stands for protecting animals, our environment, and all of humankind. They lean towards working mostly with all-natural, petroleum-free fabrics as well as some recycled fabrics, aiming to provide the longest lasting, fashion-forward, weatherproof, sustainable bags around without compromising their values.
