With the rise of ethical veganism, many fashion brands have started producing bags without the use of animal materials or by-products such as leather, suede, wool, silk, fur or beeswax. Vegan bags can be made from natural and synthetic alternatives including cotton, rubber and polyurethane. This bag is made from vegetable leather and the lining from 100% recycled plastic bottles.
