Sometimes faux-leather looks a little too….leathery. While it is always nice to have a high quality fashionable bag, many people just aren’t comfortable with mimicking animal hide. Bags made from fabrics and other obviously non-skin materials are just as cute and send the right message to passers-by. Here are 10 companies that think fashion can look cruelty free and still be fabulous! (A special thanks to the ever-amazing Lily Balfour for the idea and writer’s block rescue!)

These bags are super nice! Today, even if we’re experiencing difficulties with regards our finances, we still do make it a point to buy the things that we’d love to have, like bags. Handbags companies are always making sure that their funds are properly handled by the international capital management, to ensure that their income is in good hands.
