A vegan leather bag is a great alternative to traditional leather, especially when it is made to be durable. This means not all material is created equal. Many of today's plant-based leathers (think cactus, pineapple apple, grape skin) are made to exacting standards that not only mimic the look and feel of leather, but they are made to last. They are even resistant to abrasion, tearing, and UV rays. Car companies are now offering models with plant based vegan leather seats. Compared that to plastic based leathers made from pleather (PVC) or polyurethane (PU) which can crack, tear and become brittle easily; especially with sun exposure.

Let customers speak for us
A nice print jacket.
I really like the print of this jacket. It’s call Tribal Inspired, I call it Classy Tribal, depending on what you pair it with. I get a size larger to make room for what I might wear underneath it. Just the right amount of warmth and coziness.

Keeping it simple
Very nice clutch in tan, goes well with everything. If not, I also plan to get one in black. Great for a quick run out to the store or somewhere you want to keep the hands free with the crossbody. I plan to use it on my next cruise, where I can move around the ship with only the small essentials I may need. Just keeping it simple! 🥰

Great t-shirt
Just ordered 2 t-shirts, before I could think about when they be in, they were at my front door. The material, fit, and color was marvelous, it was like wearing a cozy hug next to my skin. So comfortable, very pleased with my purchase, thanks Lavada.

Great quality!

Stylish and Versatile
It’s like two bags in one. I can sport the black base when I need to and throw the green layer on top for a different look. On top of that, the bag has plenty of space inside!

Love my purse
I actually purchased three handbags. One for my oldest sister, another for a mentor of mine, and finally this tan and green one for myself. I brought mine out to debut it during our Pastoral Anniversary on September 17th. Everyone loved the handbag and honestly could not believe it was really made from cactus. A lot of people logged onto the Lavada handbag website. I am very impressed with the product and proud of my sister Anita for an amazing handbag.

Love love love the bag!
The bag is gorgeous and exceeded my expectations. Its minimalist design and quality of the vegan leather is phenomenal! I can wait to buy other colors to change it up a bit. I have gotten so many compliments on the bag.

Very comfortable
I like t-shirts that are made to fit a woman's body, not the boxy shapes that are unflattering. This one is true to my size and it's really soft. So far, I've washed it a bunch of times (cold water) and it has held up nicely. No fading. Very happy with my purchase.

Is a vegan leather bag good?
What is the downside of vegan leather?
Environmental issues and sustainability are top concerns when it comes to vegan leather. A number of products being marketed as vegan leather are plastic based (PU, PVC) which are not biodegradable and contribute to the growing pollution problem. Other downsides include overall lifespan and durability. Again, this will depend on the materials being used. Vegan leather has come a long way with many sustainable options on the market today. If you're shopping for vegan leather, look for products that are biodegradable, like plant-based leathers without excess use of polymers.
Do luxury brands use vegan leather?
More and more luxury brands have been testing and launching products that use vegan leather. Some familiar names include Stella McCartney, Matt & Nat, Angela Roi, Lavāda. But beware: some brands are marketing select products as recycled leather using a combination of real leather and vegan leather.
What is the lifespan of vegan leather?
High quality vegan leather can last for at least 10 years, or longer. In fact, the higher grade, plant-based vegan leathers have been engineered for durability since it is now being used for shoes, car seats, furniture, phone covers, watch bands, boxing gloves and, of course, handbags. The durability truly boils down to the underlying materials used, the grade or quality it was designed for (based on intended and frequent use), and how much wear and tear the items experience based on individual use.
