Eco-leather is the trend to look out for and one young and ambitious St. Petersburg native knows it. The year 2014 was a tough one for Russians when it comes to the economy, but that didn’t stop young engineer Vlad Praht from founding a brand specializing in bags and backpacks made from eco-leather. After just four years, Arny Praht can be found in St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ekaterinburg, Vladivostok, Magadan and Makhachkala. Also, this indie brand collaborates with designer Nelly Nedre, luxury department store Au Pont Rouge and Gate31.
