Good news: vegan leather alternatives are only getting more popular
Vegan fashion has evolved rapidly in the last few years—even back in 2019, Vogue Business reported that luxury brands’ stock of vegan items had increased over the year by 258%. So it’s not surprising that animal-free versions of all the classics are hitting the shelves every day. This is great news for animals, as vegan fashion and accessories are made without leather and other animal skins and furs. And while most clothing is easy to veganise, handbags often come under scrutiny for being made of unsustainable materials like plastic-based PVC.
But thanks to an increasing variety of more sustainable leather alternatives—from fruit-based leather to recycled rubber and cork—brands are creating gorgeous cruelty-free handbags that see you caring for animals and the planet while remaining stylish. Read on to discover our top 14 favourite vegan handbags.
