LaBante: Luxe Vegan Leather Handbags Made From Recycled Plastic

We know how bag shopping can be if you’re looking for an all-natural designer handbag. You find the perfect piece that suits your style and budget, only to read the label and realize that it’s made from leather – and then proceed to put it back on the shelf.

Leather and animal skin have long been the benchmark for high-end bags, but leather doesn’t spell luxury – it’s cruel, not decadent.

Unfortunately, because of the poor quality of leather alternatives available, vegan leather has taken a bit of a beating, and, dishing out a pretty sum for imitation leather that looks like plastic doesn’t appeal to the fashion-forward.

LaBante: Luxe Vegan Leather

The good news is, there are alternatives available, and good ones at that! Luxury bag label LaBante London crafts high-end designer bags using soft, plush vegan leather.

• Quality craftsmanship: Made from a combination of high-quality polyurethane and microfibres.

• No cheap-looking substitutes here: Their bags are fashionable and functional, designed in London.
