OUR STORY

Purpose in every stitch, heart in every detail

WHO WE ARE

Satu Hati is a labour of love, emerging from a modest condominium in Toronto as Canada’s first 100% plant-based leather brand specializing in gorgeous bags with a simple vision; to create a world where fashion is not only about looking good but also about feeling good!

I’m Natasha, the founder and force behind Satu Hati. As a plant forward yogi, I always try to make most decisions consciously. So when I struggled to find a bag that felt right, which didn’t involve killing animals in the process, or releasing toxins in the ground, which wasn’t made from polyurethane (PU) and poly vinyl chloride (PVC), and which showcased transparency along the manufacturing process, I decided to make one myself. Connecting with like minded people who are making raw materials from agricultural waste with the same passion that I have, and the unconditional support I received from my friends and family made this process so joyful that it led to the simplest decision I’ve ever made – creating more bags and spreading the same love and joy.

Embracing cruelty-free and eco-conscious fashion has been a transformative path, albeit fraught with challenges in an uncharted industry. Despite these obstacles, I am proud to introduce our primary collection made from 4200kg of crop waste. Our commitment to transparency extends through every stage of production, sourcing materials from sustainable suppliers dedicated to reducing environmental impact through innovative practices. It is my commitment to you that we will persist in crafting exquisite designs created with care intended for you to wear with pride.

THE MEANING OF SATU HATI

“Satu Hati” literally translates to “One Heart”, as my Indonesian friends would already know. We all have a shared responsibility in protecting the environment and all its inhabitants and “One Heart” encapsulates this essence of unity, compassion, and interconnectedness. With each product we create, we strive to honor this connection by using ethically sourced materials and sustainable practices. “Satu Hati” serves as a reminder that every choice we make, including the materials we use and the products we consume, has a ripple effect, ultimately stemming from and returning to the same source — the heart of our shared planet.

OUR VISION

To spark a global movement where conscious choices become second nature, and kindness is woven into the fabric of everyday life. We dream of a world where cruelty-free fashion is not just an option, but the norm—where people and businesses come together to lift each other up. Let us build communities that embrace circularity, mindfulness and respect. At the heart of our mission is a deep belief that impactful change starts with each individual, and together, our collective actions can weave a tapestry of transformation that honors and heals our planet.
