The moral of the story of the colibri (hummingbird in English) is that each has the opportunity to make a positive difference, be it ever so small, since the accumulation of these actions can together cause change. Mathilde Augusto, a vegan, was motivated to create Colibri bags when she could no longer in good conscience use bags made from animal skin, but she found nothing that suited her on the market. Her desire to have high quality and sophisticated bags which also met ethical and environmental standards, led her to create the Colibri brand. Made in France by craftsmen experienced in working for the top luxury houses, Colibri uses ecofriendly and innovative materials, as far as possible recycled or organic, from European manufacturers, and all bags are created in France, in small numbered editions by an independent workshop.
