Incredible Makers:
Ox and Ram
|
|
Ox and Ram is a Belfast-based business formed by two parents who realised that their three daughters went through a new schoolbag every year and had to dump the old ones because they were unable to be recycled and did not biodegrade.
|
|
|
|
|
This realisation became inspiration for their modern range of natural pure vegetable tanned leather bags, satchel and accessories. Designed and made in Northern Ireland, this collection of bags is free from plastic, will last for years and are also kind to the environment. This family-run business hope that you will love their products, and that you will share their passion for sustainability and looking after our beautiful planet.
