Roll out the green carpet, because PETA and vegan handbag brand Miomojo presented Italian-crafted, eco-chic luxury in the exclusive backstage Emmys® Giving Suite at The Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to inspire Emmy stars to wear plantsnot animals. During the rehearsal days leading up to the event, as well as on Television’s Biggest Night itself, Emmy winners Katherine LaNasa and Philip Barantini as well as Aimee Lou Wood, Angela Bassett, Bowen Yang, Elizabeth Banks, JB Smoove, Leanne Morgan, Mariska Hargitay, Matty Matheson, Patricia Arquette, Ryan Murphy, Tichina Arnold, Tony Goldwyn, and Uzo Aduba were among the stars who picked a Hollywood-worthy Miomojo handbag—made from apples, corn, or olives—and a stylish PETA “Vegan Leather” lapel pin to polish off the look. Because Hollywood glamour shines brightest when it’s kind.

Miomojo Put a Spotlight on Compassionate Couture

Animal-skin leather comes with a deadly price tag: The industry kills billions of animals each year and wreaks havoc on the planet. But Miomojo, a proud PETA Business Friend, is proving that the future of fashion is animal and eco-friendly. By transforming agricultural leftovers—like apples, corn, olives, oranges, and rice—into innovative vegan leather, Miomojo spares animals, cuts down waste, and helps shrink fashion’s environmental footprint. Each sleek design demonstrates that style and respect for our fellow animals go handbag in handbag.

Animals’ Skin Belongs to Them

Cows and sheep are highly social animals who, when given the chance, form lifelong friendships. Alligators are devoted mothers who nurture and protect their babies. The animal-skins industries exploit, confine, and violently slaughter these sensitive, emotional animals (and many others)—all so companies can churn out handbags, shoes, and jackets that no one needs when stylish, sustainable, animal-free materials are already here.

A-List Means Animal-Friendly! Always Wear Vegan

Miomojo is one of many compassionate brands showing that the real trendsetting happens when fashion is animal-free. Visit the company’s website to browse its stunning collection of luxury plant-leather bags.
