Vegan materials
Animal-free production is important to us. We do not want to contribute to the suffering of animals and the associated impact on our planet just to produce beautiful fashion.
Our bags and accessories are therefore made from animal-free alternatives such as cotton (canvas) and leather-like materials made from sustainable cork, paper latex and premium microfiber. When selecting materials, we make sure that they serve their purpose by being comfortable, durable and better for our environment.
Fair Production
At KURATIST we believe in helping people, for example with fairly paid and permanent employment. When we had the opportunity to source our products from responsible manufacturers in Thailand in 2018, we immediately seized the opportunity.
Since then, we have been working with two family-run companies in production who offer their employees a secure job with a fair salary and treat them with a lot of respect. With your purchase, you are helping to maintain fair jobs.

Is return shipping free?
When returning products, the buyer bears the return costs out of consideration for the environment. It is important to us to raise awareness of delivery routes and to keep returns as low as possible. We also reduce paper consumption by not enclosing the return label in every package in order to avoid unnecessary waste. Together we are committed to a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution. 💚🌱

Unfortunately, it is not possible to exchange your products.
However, you have the option of returning your order to us within 30 days of receipt. We will then refund your money and you can place a new order with your desired product.
