Like any multitasking woman, Coral Chung juggles several roles. At home, she’s a doting mum to her seven-year-old daughter. At work, she runs luxury leather goods brand Senreve.

The former strategy consultant and tech executive had always wanted to start her own brand. She was spurred by the lack of options that resonated with her multifaceted lifestyle. “I wanted a handbag that was luxurious and beautiful, but also practical and for my everyday life,” she shares. “So, I decided to start Senreve.”

Find out more about Senreve, Coral's inspiration and the bag brand's eco-conscious efforts below.

What Senreve means

Senreve means “sense” and “dream” in French, and it reflects the brand’s philosophy of “balancing tradition and innovation, beauty and versatility, fantasy and everyday”.

What inspires founder, Coral

4/7

Coral says she is inspired by her customers for each new collection, and it has never been more crucial to listen to women’s needs than during these pandemic times.

Vegan leather is the way to go

The female-led brand is also big on sustainability. “We believe in zero-waste, constant improvement, as well as keeping our community informed,” adds Coral.

Last year, the US brand launched its first wholly vegan line, and just this August, it rolled out its new Cactus collection, made up of cruelty-free pieces crafted from native Mexican cactus plants. The entirely plant-based leather used in these bags is just as sleek and smooth as the usual leathers that we see.

From cactus to statement pieces

“The cactus material is supple and durable,” she shares. “No cactus plants are destroyed because they can regenerate, and they don’t have a lot of water consumption requirements or need additional irrigation.”

Fastest fingers first

7/7

Sold on a Senreve bag? You’ll have to be quick. According to its website, popular designs have had long waitlists of up to 10,000 fans. Still, it looks like they are definitely worth the wait.
