The new spring campaign by Karl Lagerfeld embraces the sustainable movement. Model and activist Amber Valletta lent a hand to the brand to launch a collection of environmentally responsible accessories.
The ecological impact of the capsule collection is minimal, as the products are made from recycled cotton and vegan cactus. This sustainable collection from Karl Lagerfeld meets the environmental requirements set forth in the G7 Fashion Pact.
Recycled cotton: K/Kushion Quilted Folded Tote
The Quilted Folded Tote bag is made entirely from recycled cotton. This makes it a completely sustainable accessory, proving that it’s possible to create a sustainable line without sacrificing elegance.

The design of the Pleated Folded Tote bag originates from another fabric and color palette to conquer the summer, thus the Quilted Folded Tote bag is born. This bag is a nod to Karl’s favorite cushion. It brings back one of his most intimate parts, knowing the closest and most familiar part of Karl.

The bag receives the natural color of the cotton, so it’s not dyed. This quilted edition is constructed with a foldable pattern and a magnetic closure. It also features a back pocket and the detail of a recycled decorative cord.
Price: €295
Desserto cactus green: Pleated Folded Tote
The material of the Pleated Folded Tote bag is manufactured with significant water savings, as cactus cultivation doesn’t require constant watering to thrive. It’s grown without pesticides or herbicides, so it doesn’t harm the ecosystem.

These bags are dyed with natural pigments, so both their base material and their color are created from 100% plant fibers. This feature makes the bag part of biodiversity, making it an organic product.

Desserto cactus black: Folded Tote
Also created from sustainably cultivated cactus, this version of the Folded Tote bag in black perfectly combines sustainability. On one hand, it undergoes all the responsible processes of raw material extraction, and on the other hand, its elegant pattern makes it a must-have for any wardrobe.

This collection has sprung from the long-standing friendship between Amber Valletta and Karl Lagerfeld. Amber explains that for this collection, she tried to recall the feeling when Karl looked at her and knew what she was thinking. Amber also draws inspiration from the parties at Karl’s apartment in Paris, the number of books he had, and his constant interest in living life as an adventure. Amber has been inspired by Karl’s way of seeing things, his perspective, and his unique viewpoint. And from Horse, we believe she has managed to capture it perfectly.
