Texcoco Collective, founded by Monique Montfroy, has won bronze in the Sustainable Leader of the Year category at the 2022 Amplify Awards.
The Amplify Awards program honours excellence, achievement, passion, purpose and more. Winners are celebrated not just for their size or status, but for their outstanding effort behind the scenes. Texcoco Collective join the ever-growing list of sustainable brands that are shaking up the fashion industry.
Texcoco Collective is a luxury fashion accessory brand committed to eco-conscious design, environmental conservation, and thoughtful consumption. We celebrate the designers and makers of our products and aim to empower women to have beautiful, functional pieces without compromising their standards or style.
Texcoco Collective offers a range of eco-luxe vegan leather handbags. It is one of few sustainable Australian labels that works with Mexican artisans and skilled workers. Crafting beautiful vegan bags made from Mexican cactus leather actively helps turn the tide on wasteful practices.
Monique said, “It’s an honour to be named a winner by the Amplify Awards. This further validates our position as a small business poised to make an impact on the Australian eCommerce and business landscape. Texcoco Collective is driving change in the fashion industry, with high quality, beautiful accessories that make a statement in more ways than one.
“We promise bags which are functional, beautiful, and sustainable, made from eco-friendly cactus leather and are proudly made in Mexico by highly skilled leather craftsmen. This award is a testament to everyone’s hard work, dedication and love for both the brand and our customers.
“We’re always working on improving our business, growing our community, and continuing to rethink harmful, unethical practices in the fashion industry and aim to create products that decrease social and environmental impacts as well as celebrate design and creativity. I’d like to congratulate all other winners in each category, and thank the Amplify Award judges
from Megaphone and Yotpo.”
