The Working Vegan: Laptop Bags and Satchels

The following article was written by Ashley Palmer.

Finding vegan clothing and accessories has never been easier! Whether you're looking for fabulous shoes, or a complete look, there is a vegan version of everything.

But for the working vegan, there is an added challenge in finding cruelty-free items which are both stylish and work-appropriate. For inspiration, browse this short list of cruelty-free bags that are suitable for the office, but cute enough to carry past 5 o'clock.

Big Buddha: Jalyce (Shown in Charcoal) $90.00

H&M: Imitation Leather Bag $34.95 (Shown in Rich Golden Brown)

ASOS: Double Buckle Satchel £30.00

Cri de Coeur: Charlie Foldover Messenger Bag (Shown in Raven) $435.00

For those of you who are worried about your co-workers mistaking your vegan bag for real leather, pick up one of PETA's 'Fake, Not Leather Pins' to stick on it. But if faux isn't your thing, stick with canvas!

Matt & Nat: Canvas Weiland (Shown in Camel) $220.99 (On Sale!)

Malcom Fontier: The Diplomat 13 $180.00

So which work bag would you most like to carry into the boardroom? Let me know in the comments section below!

It's just like trying to eat organic food or meat/milk/egg substitutes, it's all more expensive to try to live that lifestyle. They don't make it easy for anybody to make the switch. Maybe if things were more equal, more people would consider making the switch. Ya' think?

My favorite is the canvas, but why do they have to be so expensive?

The Big Buddha looks amazing and stylish. I would carry it everywhere (if I could afford it) and be very proud. Who needs leather???
