A vegan handbag is a bag made without any animal products, including the covering material and the glue. Vegan handbags are often made from faux leather, but can also be made from other materials like:
- Recycled rubber
- Waxed cotton
- Cork
- Agricultural waste products
- Sustainable biomaterials
- Polymers like polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Plant-based alternatives like pineapple leaves (Piñatex) and apple peel
- Vegan handbags are considered a more eco-friendly option than traditional leather handbags because they: Require fewer resources to produce, Emit less pollution, Are cruelty-free, and Can be made from sustainable materials.
