Most importantly, it’s just the right size to fit your daily essentials (perfect for travelling!). Its nylon material also means durability.

REDUCE, REUSE, STYLE!
The red carpet turned green this awards season as sustainability was a recurring theme. Celebs supported the cause through their outfits. For example, Maggie Rogers wore a vintage Chanel dress and a matching reusable water bottle for the Grammys, and Kate Middleton went to the BAFTAs in the Alexander McQueen Couture dress she wore during her visit in Malaysia. Other examples here too! Do the same: Rent a dress for your next event, or outfit repeat because really, it makes more sense!
