I f you believe that true luxury should feel as good as it looks, Veganologie’s latest designs offer a compelling proposition. The Dubai-based accessories house — the city’s first fully sustainable brand of its kind — continues to redefine modern elegance with the launch of two new silhouettes: the Nova Evening Bag and the Mini Gemma Handbag. Thoughtfully crafted, consciously sourced, and effortlessly chic, both pieces speak to a new generation of style-savvy consumers who refuse to compromise between aesthetics and ethics. At the heart of Veganologie lies a simple yet ambitious idea: that amazing style doesn’t mean sacrificing ethos. Founded in 2022 by entrepreneur Angana Maheshwari, the brand has quickly established itself as a pioneer in next-generation materials, creating accessories that are as refined in form as they are responsible in origin. The Nova Evening Bag is a case in point. Designed for moments that call for polish — celebratory dinners, intimate gatherings, evenings that linger — Nova reimagines vintage glamour through a thoroughly modern, sustainable lens. Its structured silhouette and subtle hobo curve lend a sculptural elegance, while its textured finish adds depth and character. Crafted from the equivalent of five recycled plastic bottles, Nova proves that waste can be transformed into something genuinely beautiful. It is the kind of piece that elevates an outfit quietly, confidently, without ever demanding attention. More compact but no less considered, the Mini Gemma Handbag offers an ideal introduction to Veganologie’s world. Lightweight, durable, and effortlessly versatile, Gemma is designed to move with you through the day — from morning meetings to evening plans — without missing a beat. Made from 1.3 bamboo stems, its refined proportions and clean lines reflect the brand’s commitment to timeless design, while its plant-based construction signals a forward-looking Where Sustainability Meets Style: Veganologie’s Nova and Gemma Bags Simply Abu Dhabi | 291
