As most of us know, leather dominates the purse + handbag industry. Buying cruelty-free clothing isn’t so hard but finding fashionable and cruelty-free handbags isn’t so easy. But, these elusive fashionable, non-leather handbags DO exist. You’ve got to look a little harder to find them but they are there. And when you find them, you’ll look great and feel good knowing no animals were harmed in the making of your new bag. So, with that said here are some of my favorite handbags and clutches this holiday season. I’ve also included some cool iPhone cases that will go perfect in your new faux-leather bag.
And FYI, number 7 is an actual mirror. I bought it not realizing it was a legit mirror but OMG that thing comes in handy. If you’re ever like me, traipsing around the city in dark lipstick (like number 13 on my previous Holiday Beauty Gift Guide), having a mirror readily available to make sure it’s not all over your face is a lifesaver. 🙂
