Restaurant chain Chiquito launches handbag for Veganuary

Mexican restaurant brand Chiquito has entered the fashion industry with the launch of its first-ever fashion accessory, The Chiquito handbag.

To celebrate Veganuary, Chiquito has launched a limited-edition vegan handbag, which is inspired by the popular Jacquemus ‘Le Chiquito Moyen’ bag.

The small top-handle bags are made with 100% vegan leather and comes in a bicolour Chiquito blue and bright yellow design.

The bag can be held or worn over the shoulder and will come in a dust bag, along with an official card showcasing the bag’s limited-edition production number.

With 100 bags available, people can bid on the accessory online in a silent auction. All proceeds will go to eco-friendly charity Veganuary, which encourages people and businesses to move to a plant-based diet as a way of protecting the environment, preventing animal suffering and improving the people's health.

Luana Herrmann, Head of Brand and Marketing at Chiquito, said: “We’re confident The Chiquito will be turning heads on the street and we couldn’t be prouder of supporting Veganuary with its important work for another year.

"Our vegan menu has always been an important and ever-evolving part of our brand. We continue to support and keep our vegan guests at the forefront of our minds. It’s not every day that Chiquito puts its hand to designing a fashion accessory. So when we do, like our food, we do it right."
