9 Designer Vegan Handbags To Check Out Now
Whether you're vegan or not, there are so many products today that are made vegan. Leather alternatives have made leather obsolete and even more sustainable, ethical and stylish than ever. I find myself shopping for more vegan products lately, especially with handbags. I am currently selling all of my previous bags I invested in the past to trade in for vegan bags. It is less expensive and more practical to save up for, unlike $8000 for a Chanel bag verses $600 for a Mansur Gavriel Mini Mini Lady bag I carry with me everyday.
If you're looking for a way to switch over to vegan handbags, you could donate your used bags to the following organization: dressforsuccess.org.
