LaBante Vegan Apple Leather Backpack

LaBante’s vegan ladies backpack is the perfect faux leather accessory for your everyday needs, whether for work or travel. With double inner spacious compartments, it has two fastening belts so it’s easy to adjust to fit.

An attached chain from the centre zip puller adds a touch of style and femininity.

You can usually just wipe-clean rucksacks. Launder synthetic materials in a microfibre filter. Donate unwanted rucksacks to small charity shops (that don’t test on animals). For items that are worn out, ripped or stains, place in local textile banks (materials are shredded to make industrial  goods).

This backpack is made from apple leather, a vegan leather made from partly-recycling apples leftover from the food industry in northern Italy.

Why offer designer rucksacks?

This backpack is expensive, but from a brand designed to offer alternatives to designer brands. Most of us prefer more affordable accessories. But it’s important for some brands to offer alternativse to those who pay lots of money for designer brands, many of which cause animal suffering and pollution.

It’s all very well saying that the prices for designer goods are too high. But like it or not, there are millions of people who do buy designer leather and suede accessories, and will only buy vegan versions of similar price.

If we want a kinder world for all creatures, it’s important to support all brands that are offering alternatives, to suit the whims of each person’s fashion style and choice. It’s the only way to change things.
