Our first bag, KIARA, has been named "Vegan Bag of the Year" at the 13th PETA Vegan Awards! When we first designed KIARA, we wanted to challenge a common assumption: that choosing animal-free materials means compromising on design, quality or longevity. Crafted from apple and olive waste and inspired by the hexagon, one of nature's most efficient and resilient structures, KIARA became our way of exploring what design beyond convention could look like. Receiving this recognition from PETA is especially meaningful because it reflects something we've believed since day one at PREV: great design does not require animal-derived materials. More than an award for a single product, we see it as encouragement for the growing ecosystem of designers, innovators and material developers working to create better alternatives. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the Plant Revolution and supported the idea that creativity, ethics and innovation can move forward together! #PREV #MaterialInnovation #PETAVeganAwards #PlantRevolution

Fashion isn’t neutral, it never was. What a person wears speaks before they do. So why should design stop at looking good, when it can stand for something better? Prev believes design should reflect identity, not erase it. From size inclusivity to symbolically-charged details, every product decision becomes an act of recognition. Not just aesthetics, but also affirmation. In a world where sameness is scalable, choosing to design for difference is a quiet revolution.
