Vegan bags are made from non-animal materials, including recycled materials, and offer a fashionable and ethical option for those who follow a vegan lifestyle. Some vegan bags are designed to look like animal-based materials, while others prioritize the use of recycled materials.
Vegan bags are handbags, totes, or wallets made from materials that are not derived from animals. The types of materials used in vegan bags vary, and in some cases can be recycled materials, making these vegan bags “green” and vegan. Fashion bags and accessories are sometimes made from animal products, such as leather, silk, or wool, presenting an ethical dilemma for those who hold to an ethical vegan worldview. By creating vegan accessories, manufacturers and designers offer vegans the opportunity to be fashionable and stay true to their principles.
Veganism is a way of eating and often an ethical worldview. Vegans do not consume animal products, such as meat, dairy, or eggs. Many vegans also refrain from consuming honey, since it is produced by insects. While some vegans eat this way for health reasons or as a matter of personal preference, some vegans have a more holistic worldview in that they apply their veganism to other uses of animals. For example, some vegans oppose the use of animals for entertainment purposes, keeping them as pets or using animal products in clothing or accessories. These vegans generally avoid the use of leather, silk, or fur in the clothing and accessories they wear.
In some cases, vegan bags are made from materials designed to look like their animal-based counterparts. For example, bags can be made of faux suede or leather. In some cases, a bag can be printed or textured to look like a particular type of fur or animal skin. Faux alligator and crocodile bags, made from synthetic materials, are popular with vegans and non-vegans alike, as they provide an attractive yet low-cost alternative to bags made from genuine skins. On the other hand, many vegans do not even want to appear to be carrying a bag made from animal skin, so they will choose bags that do not resemble leather or any other type of animal product.
Some vegans will also look for vegan bags and accessories that are made, in whole or in part, from recycled materials. Since the synthetic materials used to make some vegan bags are made from petroleum products, some people are concerned that these vegan bags are not environmentally responsible. Vegan accessory vendors often note whether an item is made from recycled or repurposed materials, as this is of interest to many vegans.
