Beth Springer's background in
architecture gives her bags a structure different from all others.
Beauty equals form following function. Beth Springer bags
are engineered to be worn comfortably on the body. She makes everything in the USA,
sweatshop free, and often in limited editions.
Beth Springer is a big believer in environmental sustainability, so her bags are
made with nature in mind. Because Beth wants to tread lightly on the
earth, she employs the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle in every
aspect of her business. The goal is to get as close to zero waste as
possible. To that end, she designs using no extraneous hardware. Metal
feet are absent on the bottom of Beth Springer bags because 1) those
little metal feet use our precious natural resources, require a highly
toxic process to coat, and do not biodegrade 2) feet are redundant on
Beth Springer bags because the leather she uses can sustain long years of
use without wearing through.
Beth Springer uses no filler- most leather bags today use a thinner leather to
save money, and then back that leather with vinyl. It is a hidden
environmental disaster. Most Beth Springer bags "stand on their own".
100% organic hemp or cotton linings are used in several styles.
Leathers used are vegetable dyed, meaning they are colored with plant
dyes and no chrome is used.
