For canopy verde founder Linda Wong, her interest in living green started early. As the child of traditional Chinese parents, she learned never to waste from an early age, often wearing her brother’s hand-me-downs. The first collection of canopy verde bags can be found in stores fall 2008 and will feature seven styles, ranging in size from a clutch to a weekender. The inspiration for the brand is to create an environmentally-friendly collection of modern, everyday silhouettes with a touch of whimsy in the details.
