Founded 2015 Melbourne, Australia Recycled plastics and vegan leather alternatives PETA Approved Vegan

The Story

In the heart of Melbourne, Peta + Jain emerged with a simple yet revolutionary premise: that fashion accessories shouldn't compromise on style, sustainability, or ethics. The brand's name itself speaks to this duality – honoring both the creative vision of its founders and their commitment to animal welfare through partnership with ethical values.

What began as a vision to create beautiful, cruelty-free accessories has evolved into a brand that seamlessly marries contemporary design with environmental responsibility. Each piece in their collection tells a story of thoughtful material sourcing, innovative design processes, and a deep respect for both the planet and its creatures.

The brand's approach to sustainability goes beyond simply avoiding animal products. Peta + Jain has pioneered the use of recycled materials in their accessory lines, transforming waste plastics into sophisticated handbags and sunglasses. This circular approach to fashion demonstrates how luxury and environmental consciousness can coexist beautifully.

Their design aesthetic reflects the modern Australian lifestyle – relaxed yet sophisticated, versatile enough for city adventures or casual brunches. From their signature pebble-textured bags to their architecturally-inspired sunglasses with triangular arms, every piece is crafted to be both a statement and a staple in the conscious consumer's wardrobe.

Collaborations with creative visionaries like Bonnie Baskerville showcase the brand's commitment to artistic expression within ethical parameters. These partnerships result in limited-edition collections that push creative boundaries while maintaining the brand's core values of sustainability and cruelty-free production.

As the fashion industry grapples with its environmental impact, Peta + Jain stands as proof that the future of accessories lies in innovation, ethics, and design excellence. They've created more than just products – they've crafted a blueprint for how conscious fashion brands can thrive while making a positive impact on both style and sustainability.
