Vegan Faux Leather Bags That Look As Good As The Real Thing

Equally as good-looking – and often more affordable – than their designer leather cousins, vegan-friendly handbags are a wise investment to make now. Vogue rounds up the most beautiful ethical, eco friendly and vegan faux leather handbags equal to – and even better than – their real leather counterparts.

From Stella McCartney’s luxury vegan bags to sustainable vegan backpacks handmade in Italy, affordable ethical fashion pieces – particularly faux leather handbags – are changing the way consumers think about fast fashion and the impact their purchases have on the environment.

London-based brand Wilby Clutch produce bags made from durable cork bark, sustainable as it regenerates quickly once peeled from trees and Canadian bag label Matt & Nat are always looking to explore alternative materials, using fabrics made from recycled nylon, cardboard and rubber.
