Vegan Handbags
18th November 2015
The last few years have seen a rise in the number of specialist, trend-led accessory brands creating luxe-looking pieces from ethically sourced materials. All these bags listed here are part of the PETA-Approved Vegan scheme so contain no leather or other animal-derived fabrics. There are range of styles, from clutches and bucket bags to roomy shoppers and structured shoulder bags.
You too can be Politically Correct and fashionable at the same time.

On a leatherworker’s web site, there have been a number of requests for sources of “vegan leather”. Not surprising, most of the requestors are from the Left Coast or Great Britain and they are desperately trying to satisfy their PC customers. There are some companies that do carry leather that is guaranteed to have come from animals that died from natural causes (“road kill”) and not from slaughter houses. Those sensitive individuals buying the stuff constantly complain about the price and the limited amount in stock. (“Hang on the line while I go run over a cow.”) Some leatherworker’s have reported limited success pointing out that using all the parts of an animal is consistent with the way Native Americans did things.
