A big part of being vegan goes beyond food, and into what we wear and what we buy. So many products use leather, wool, silk – and so many beauty products are tested on animals.
Likewise, a big part of caring for our ecosystem is choosing to buy products that use sustainable materials. Organic cotton and animal-free leather are excellent places to start.
A good friend of mine, Linda, makes these gorgeous handbags that focus on eco-friendly and vegan materials.
Her son is my nephew’s best friend, and they’re always running around playing lego and practicing their ninja skills, and we got talking about environmental issues and veganism and found we had a lot of the same values and goals.
She makes bags from organic canvas, animal-free leather (for which she’s currently sourcing options that are more eco-friendly than the current options) and wooden trim.
I know I don’t usually talk about stuff, but I love what she’s doing, and wanted to share with you guys. If you’re buying a handbag, why not support a self-employed mom working with eco-friendly vegan materials?
