Vegan Handbags

---

Vegan handbags can be made from quite a large array of different materials. Any thing as long as it does not come from any animal can be used and that covers quite a few different materials.

Below is just a partial list of the many different fabrics that can be used:

Organic Fabrics-maybe cotton or hemp

Vintage Fabrics like brocades or taffeta

Pleather

Faux Fur

PVC Plastic

Stainless Steel

Microfibers

Straw

Jute

Upholstery Fabric

Recycled material like aluminum pop tops, juice containers or tire inner tubes

Handbag materials are limited only by our own imaginations.

Handbags that are truly vegan usually label themselves as such so you can be assured that absolutely no animal products should be used in the construction.

If you happen upon handbags that say vegetarian handbags the difference may be that no animal hides are used but some animal ingredients may have been used. Which could be something like wool, or silk or even the glues used in construction.

It Just Looks Like Leather

For handbags that look like leather consider designers like Inder Bedi, whose Matt and Nat line is based on a strict zero tolerance policy against animal products.

Matt and Nat's goes the extra mile by being socially responsible in their manufacturing process which mostly occurs in China. They work with larger reliably ethical factories in China who have a good policy of treating employees fairly. They offer vegan handbags with a hip, fun, positive message.

Another company to consider is Crystalyn Kae.That's one of her bags at the top of this page. She uses upholstery grade fabric that is glazed to give the look of leather. There is quite a large selection to choose from.

Her designs have been seen in In Style and Lucky magazine. With designs this good why would anyone need to buy leather.

Handbags from fabrics and recycled material

Colorful handbags from discarded juice containers made by a co-op of women in the Philippines or beautiful, unique handbags made from recycled aluminum pop tops crocheted together by women in Brazil can be found at Eco Handbags.

They have a an incredibly large selection of handbags from all kinds of materials like record albums, carpeting, newspaper and even chopsticks. Pictured here.

A few handbags use some leather so shop with care.

Parapette carries a very nice line of handbags in fabric and polyurethane alternative leather. Creative designs with nice details. They are not only concerned with providing an affordable, stylish animal friendly handbag but also the environmental impacts of their choices.

If you haven't been over to Alternative Outfitters website yet, you need to. Not only do they have a very large selection of handbags made from all different kinds of fabrics but you will also find a great pair of vegan shoes to go along with it.

With so many choices in vegan handbags you won't even miss the leather. Now isn't that better than carrying around something made from animal skin?
