LaBante Mayfair Vegan Leather Bag

LaBante’s Vegan Mayfair Leather Bag is an alternative to designer luxury bags made from real leather. Ethically crafted by skilled artisans, it’s made from premium plant-based leather with gentle curves, to create a timeless bag for everyday style.

The bag features a refined front strap with signature LB hardware, and a spacious interior. The slim shoulder straps rest comfortably for all-day wear, for a bag designed to stay practical through each season. In several colour choices.

Why choose a sustainable vegan handbag?

Most leather bags are made in the far east, with few animal welfare laws, and the tanning process is also bad for the planet (and can cause cancer to workers). Breeding animals to make meat or leather also causes greenhouse gas emissions.

Quality vegan handbags are made from sustainable materials like microfiber, recycled materials (unlike clothing these are not laundered so don’t release microplastics from washing machines into the sea) or cork (no trees cut down, the bark is simply stripped every nine years or so).

How to clean sustainable vegan handbags

Wipe marks with a damp cloth (to remove oil stains, apply a little baking soda to absorb). Remove ink or make-up stains with a cotton bud dipped in rubbing alcohol. Dry wet handbags in the shade (avoid direct sun or heat)

Where to donate unwanted handbags 

Donate unwanted handbags to small charity shops (that don’t test on animals). You can place damaged or frayed handbags in textile banks. The materials are shredded to make insulation and other industrial goods.
