Take Your Fall Handbag Game to the Next Level

Published by Christina Sewell.

We get it. You’re a busy girl with places to go, people to see, and things to carry on your way to see all the people in those places! A trusty handbag to hold your life while you seize the day is essential, especially as we make our way into fall, a season chock full of exciting new adventures. There will be no settling for just any bag, though—it’s got to be true to your style, make you look and feel great, and, of course, uphold your values (read: not a product of cruelty to cows or other furry friends). Here’s where we come in to assist you on your fabulous merry way! Check out our compilation of the best in vegan bags for fall 2014 below.

Yes, yes, your fingers are itching for them, we know! Thankfully, all of us can rest assured knowing that by splurging on any of these vegan beauties, we not only amp up our fall game but also are doing good by the planet, animals, and those working in apparel production. (Leather tanneries use dangerous chemicals such as toxic mineral salts, formaldehyde, and coal-tar derivatives to get the job done, and we can’t be having that!) Let us know if you decide to carry on stylishly with hot picks featured here by hashtagging #PETA #VeganFashion, and remember to stay in touch with all things ethical and vegan in our fashion section and Pinterest!
