There is a version of this purse that is just a well-organised wallet. Eight card slots, two note pockets, a central zipped coin section, zip-around closure, and dimensions (H10cm × W20cm × D2.5cm) that sit neatly in a bag without bulk. That version is already worth having.
The more interesting version is what it is made from. AppleSkin is produced by taking residual fibres left over from the apple juice industry — material that would otherwise go to waste — and transforming them into a textured, durable leather alternative. The lining is made from recycled plastic bottles. Neither of these is a cosmetic swap; both are structural choices that affect what the purse is made of at every layer.
Votch has built its material standard around being PVC-free and phthalate-free, which matters because most faux leather alternatives still rely on one or both. AppleSkin sits within that standard: bio-based on the outside, recycled on the inside, with no animal-derived materials anywhere in the construction.
The hardware is finished with a Votch signature branded zipper in black, and the central coin section carries the brand's 'Be the Change' detail — a small thing, but it gives the purse a considered finish that holds up to daily use.

About Our Brand Votch
Votch addresses the challenge conscious shoppers face in finding genuinely stylish watches that do not rely on animal-derived materials. The brand provides a focused range of timepieces, ensuring that accessories reflect personal values without compromising aesthetic appeal.
What truly distinguishes Votch is its rigorous material standard; instead of merely substituting conventional leather, the brand utilises PVC-free and phthalate-free faux leather, incorporating recycled and renewable content. This commitment significantly lowers the environmental footprint of each strap compared to most vegan leather alternatives, extending beyond just being animal-free.
Votch views material development as an ongoing process, actively researching new materials and design directions. This approach treats ethical production as a creative challenge, highlighting a commitment to continuous improvement that sets Votch apart from brands that simply make a single material swap and cease further innovation.
