Canopy Verde was born in Fall 2008, with all bags made of organic cotton and bamboo blend fabric, chrome-free leather, OEKO-TEX 100 certified dyes, and chemical free embroidery.

Given the founder's, Linda Wong's, Chinese roots and her upbringing in Taiwan, it is personally meaningful for her to have the opportunity to encourage Chinese manufacturers to be more environmentally responsible. “Working with my current factory, I’ve found that the best way to improve environmental practices is by showing them the market opportunity of eco-friendly products,” she says. In addition, all of Canopy Verde’s materials are sourced locally, which helps to eliminate the transportation impact and also spurs demand of Chinese-made eco-friendly materials.
