Eco Vegan Handbags (that help coral reefs)

Veganologie is a unique accessories brand. Not only are all these durable bags made from vegan leathers (often made from recycled materials).

But for the sale of 10 bags, the company donates to an organisation that plants mangroves, to help restore endangered coral reefs.

So far, the company has contributed to planting over 100 mangrove trees in the United Arab Emirates, which helps to stop coastal erosion from storms and tides. Many of the bags also use apple leather, made from the waste of the Italian apple industry.

The bags also feature individual design touches. Like half-zipped pouches (lined with recycled plastic bottles) and bags to easily hold all your essentials like wallets, card holders, phones and tablets.

Some are designed to carry as wristlets, to keep hands free. In stunning colours and designs, you’re sure to find something you like, or to give as a beautiful gift.

Why Choose Vegan Leather Handbags?

Leather is not a by-product of the meat industry, and most leather for bags (and shoes) is made in the Far East, where there are few animal welfare or human rights rights. Vegan leather bags are super-easy to clean, and most have recycled linings (usually from plastic bottles). And are sent in s sustainable packaging. These make great gifts!

It takes 17,000 litres of fresh water to make 1kg of leather. 80% of leather is tanned with chrome that is toxic to tannery workers, plus animals suffer (20% of the Amazon rainforest is already gone, with cattle ranching the main cause).

Cattle farming is by far the biggest contributor to CO2 emissions in livestock farming, causing 60% of all emissions, and over 65% of leather is from cows.
