Eco-friendly, sustainable luxury bags from Ministry of Tomorrow

The Ministry of Tomorrow (MOT), reportedly Africa’s hottest eco-fashion House, has a mandate to “save the world one bag at a time.”

The brand for vegan, eco-friendly, sustainable luxury unisex bags is headquartered in Los Angeles, California, with its bespoke atelier located in Nairobi, Kenya. 

CEO and founder Julian  Prolman set up the MOT-built facility in Nairobi to help solve the unemployment problem in Kenya, such as sponsoring skilled tailors who are recruited from within Kibera, one of Africa’s largest slums to make designer unisex bags, creating sustainable livelihoods for its employees, who are paid fair wages, receive bonuses based on quality production and are able to work in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment.

Only vegan and animal-free materials are used to create the MOT bags. Where fabrics are used, the company choose either cruelty free leather from Italy or Japan, or 100% Certified Organic and Fair-Trade cotton, sourced from Rajlakshmi Mills in Kolkata, India that buys its cotton from the Chetna Organic Farmers Association a collective of more than 6,000 organic cotton farmers.

The farmers growing the cotton are paid a fair price for their crop, are not exposed to harmful pesticides, and the organic farming methods do not contaminate the earth.
