About Us & Sustainability

About Us

St. Oddity is an independent label based in Sydney, Australia, our team is passionate about producing quality accessories with a focus on next-level personalisation. Launched in 2018, by founder and creative director Jeremy Cassisi, St. Oddity, produces popular handbags and accessories for customers all around the world. Known for our premium quality and unique designs, St. Oddity also prides itself on only using vegan-friendly, cruelty-free materials in its entire range.

Materials

The entire St. Oddity range is made from cruelty-free, vegan materials. Our materials are manufactured with next generation technology that has allowed for superior synthetics that we believe supersede leather in feel and quality.

Studies show that the production of synthetic leather has significantly less of an environmental impact when compared to leather from cows*; making it the more sustainable choice. According to the Higg Materials Sustainability Index, Polyurethane based fabrics like the ones we use score 29.9 compared to leathers that score 176. A lower score indicates a lesser impact to global warming, water use and pollution.

We are always looking for even more sustainable materials that can match the feel, look and durability of the materials we currently use. New materials such as those that use fibres from fruits still rely on a top layer of Polyurethane for durability.

Packaging and Waste

We don't use any plastic packaging. Our boxes and tape are made from recycled cardboard that can easily be recycled again at home.

St. Oddity’s no-waste policy means no product is ever discarded due to a cosmetic defect. You may have seen a product marked as a 'second' as part of a yearly sales event. These products may have a small mark or crease and are put aside by our quality control team to be sold at a discount.
