I love handbags! I love looking at all the links here but I don’t want to buy anything anymore that isn’t kind to animals.

I’ve looked at laBante, Stella McCartney Vegan, Matt and Nat and Wills Vegan Shoes but would love recommendations for a gorgeous mini-bag for nights out.

Thanks

I’m in the process of changing all mine over to vegan, cruelty free. Definitely interested in this thread.

I need a new pair of smart knee high boots.

Have you seen Inyati bags? They are beautiful vegan bags.

I love Paperthinks, they're not vegan exactly but they make everything from recycled leather, which is brilliant.

Matt and Nat are vegan
Some lovely styles
I really need vegan wide fitting flat ankle boots and knee high boots
I have wide toes and high arch
All the vegan styles are standard fitting
Can’t stand my toes rubbing

I'm a vegetarian (not vegan)

I use Kipling bags (have to double check them now , some of their 'Premium' range have leather on the straps)
I have a couple of Mai Tui bags ( a zipped pouch and one called 'Molly' which is more a wristlet on a long strap)

Shoes are mainly M&S - I have some knee length boots from there
I do have very narrow feet so they suit me .
I know there's non leather Doc Martens but they wouldn't suit my feet (hypermobile)


they're not vegan exactly but they make everything from recycled leather erm , I think that's classed as not vegan in the slightest but it is ethical in the recycling /

And , while I;m on here blethering - Beauty Products that are "Vegan" are not neccesarily Cruelty Free . It just contains no byproduct (lanolin, honey , beeswax etc)

A lot of bags that are marketed as vegan are just plastic. Hmm
What I would like to see more of is canvas.

Yeah, pleather , leather substitute . My MaiTui small bag could pass for leather on sight (but I know it isn't)
What I would like to see more of is canvas - my Kipling bags are nylon or canvas . Not glamorous in the least , but hard wearing and I can wash them !.

Thanks to those for recommending Mai Tui - I’ve finally decided to order the ‘Molly’

All other vegan suppliers of clothing and accessories welcome!
