Karl Lagerfeld x Amber Valletta debuts sustainable accessories collection

Karl Lagerfeld, the French fashion house, has launched its first sustainable accessories partnership with supermodel, actress, and activist Amber Valletta for spring 2021, as well as an announcement that the collaboration will be expanded for spring/summer 2022.

The environmentally conscious collection is available for sale online from April 8, which includes a limited-edition K/Kushion bag made from vegan cactus leather.

About the partnership, Amber Valletta says that to see it all come to life is a tremendous accomplishment and honor, and she is sure that Karl would have enjoyed it. She is honored to be able to carry on his legacy, which is chic, brave, and forward-thinking. She adds that it was fascinating to see how closely the Karl Lagerfeld brand investigates environmentally friendly processes and fabrics. They continue to inspire her with their understanding of architecture and contribution to manufacturing in a modern and aware manner.

The K/Kushion, the collection's centerpiece, was inspired by a custom-made cushion brought by Karl Lagerfeld on his journeys, and he recreated the silhouette with a voluminous effect and a pillowy soft touch. Valletta has collaborated on two styles, all of which are made from eco-friendly fabrics.
