Vegan Bag or Leather Bag for Women: How to Choose

What is vegan leather?
The term refers to a material made without animal hide. Most often it is polyurethane, a soft, flexible plastic. Some materials add a plant-based share, such as grape or cactus, but still contain plastic. They are light and wipe clean in seconds, but they do not develop a patina like leather does.

Vegan or leather: how do you choose?
If you want no animal materials at all, go vegan and read the materials list carefully. If you want a bag that develops a patina and can be repaired, leather is the better fit. Either way, check the thickness of the material, the stitching and the finishing. Our article on leather durability helps you judge, and our women's bags show our full leather range.
