UPDATE: Congratulations Debbie Terry for winning this giveaway!

Just because Earth Day is over doesn't mean we are going to forget about the eco-friendly vegan options. Samsara is a new line created by Matt & Nat, the collection is sophisticated chic and damn good enough to rival its carnivore competitors. This Neuville in plum is seriously yummy. It has a totally young, hip vibe and the color is rich and decadent. It is a good size hobo with high end brushed hardware and the adjustable straps and tab detailing gives it a definite luxury feel. These are not only vegan but are made using eco-friendly techniques and for each bag sold, $1 is donated to a charity that will help change the earth for the better. But don't just do it for all that goodness, these bags are really cool and budget friendly. The Neuville is $155 but you will feel like a million bucks using it.

Samsara and Bag Snob are giving this bag away to one lucky winner. To win, tell us what you think of the new fashion forward vegan option. Put it in comments and we will select one winner through a random drawing. Contest end May 10th at 11:59pm EST.

Thank you Samsara by Matt and Nat for the prize.

  • I love it!

  • i think its environmentally friendly and a great way to save the earth.


  • I love the idea of vegan fashion. Whatever helps the environment and animals is always a fashionable choice! There are so many great designs, from bags to shoes, that don't have to use any animal by-products to achieve uber chic-ness!

    =)

  • i think it is wonderful... This bag looks like it costs way more :) I am glad that more and more designers turn to vegan fashion.

  • I think vegan fashion is a great way to save the earth. Anything we can do to be environmentally friendly is a winner with me!

  • Love the idea of fierce fashion without harming innocent animals! Way to go!

  • Ok. now we are talking about going evironmentally sound. I love this idea.

  • I get so excited about good looking, sturdy vegan bags - there are plenty of ugly ones out there, but it's great to see some attractive bags that I would actually LOVE to wear around - and avoid needlessly killing animals at the same time. A++

  • Love it! Love the bag, love the color, love the message behind it -- sign me up!

  • Love it! I love the bag, love the color, love the message behind it -- sign me up!

  • I love it... anything to help the environment!

  • This bag is lovely!

  • I love it! I think it's so amazing that people are finally learning that there are creative and beautiful ways to provide a healthy future for the Earth and its inhabitants. People don't sometimes realize that every little bit counts. One plum handbag, one reusable shopping bag, one bus ride instead of car drive. It all matters, it all helps.

  • I like it, I think it is more earth friendly and when it is done right, it can be reallly nice

  • What a cute purse! I'm all for vegan fashion, I think it's great to be able to look fashionable while being eco-friendly and animal-friendly!

  • I love the idea and product for the vagan option. This is fantastic...would love to win it and sport it everywhere I went. I still have yet to have a new bag and I believe I'm the only woman on earth that owns ONE purse...pathetic I tell ya. I've had my previous bag for 5 years now and it's getting holes on the bottoms.

    -barbarabaker :)

  • Fashion friendly? Check. Budget friendly? Check. Environment friendly? Check! A winning combination all around.

    Tina and Kelly, now please encourage them to sell these bags in the U.S.!

  • The vegan handbag is good for recycling and keeping the planet safe...I like to recycle and so I like Matt and Nat handbags...

  • I really like the style of it, not too small, yet not too big-this would work perfect for me! :) also, I like the fact that it is good for the environment, you can't go wrong with that! A handbag you can recycle, who knew?

  • I don't care if it's vegan or not. It's the style of the bag that matters! If it's gorgeous and animal-friendly, fine, +1 Karma points. If it's ugly and animal friendly, I wouldn't care for it. If it's not animal friendly, no biggie. Leather is a by-product anyway. People eat beef, and the skin needs to go somewhere. It can be argued that by using the by-product leather and not using more of earth's resources to produce "animal-friendly" products is good conservation practice. People just jump into the whole "earth friendly," "animal friendly," and "do the green thing" without really thinking it through and without questioning how substantiated any of the claims are. FYI: the most earth-friendly thing to do is not buy anything at all. But who wants that? We girls want to shop and feel good.

  • Why is it that we only stop to notice the"GREEN" Options during Earth Day. Kudos, to Matt and Nat for noticing this niche in the bag market.

  • I think it really does look "high-end" and the color is beautiful.

  • i think by going GREEN in the fashion world...this shows that the fashion conscious people are certainly not "superficial" people..they do care what is going around them & what is happening to the world..and THEY ARE trying their best to set things right...BUT be fashion forward at the same time! ;)

  • I don't know much about the vegan lifestyle but all I know is that bag is CUTE!

  • What a beauty! Not only fabulous, but created without cruelty.

  • I think that this bag proves that vegan fashion can be great fashion too! As long as it looks good, I support it. :)

  • I think it is a great idea! Who says you can't be fashionable and eco-friendly at the same time? :)

  • I love fashion without cruelty

  • What a beautiful bag! Fashion forward and cruelty free. It doesn't get much better than that! The color is rich and earthy. I love it!

  • I've found that a lot of vegan alternatives are not very environmentally friendly. many use tons of petroleum based materials that don't biodegrade and aren't very recyclable. However, when done right vegan is the way to go, it can look just as good as leather (Matt and Nat make great bags that are ever improving in style and quality).

  • i have a matt & nat satchel made from recycled water bottles. it's a beautifully crafted, fashion-forward bag and also pretty sturdy. i'm very excited about the samsara line. the designers are passionate, innovative and very bold with their beliefs.

  • I love it. I own other Matt and Nat bags and I love them. So chic and eco-friendly

  • I think it's wonderful! How lovely it is, and when people comment on it when one would carry it, they could use the opportunity to educate them about vegan options. Great giveaway!

  • Vegan, going green, getting your carbon footstep smaller, I am all for it to save the earth.

    If the hide, skin is used, then the whole body must have a use, like food or fertilizer.

    There should be no waste.

    I will happily have a meatless Monday.
    I really like the feel of bamboo clothing.
    I also like the smell and feel of leather.

  • I really love this idea! No animals were harmed making this bag. I would love to have one!

  • I think we need to start watching what and how we use, and repurpose things because we as a whole got overly greedy using things and tossing them away

  • I am learing. There are so many new companies and so many new products to choose from. I love all the goodie that are out there and I am finding out alot at http://www.prissygreen.com because Karissa is all about going green and she shows so many eco friendly products on her blog. I have learned alot from her.
    Karissa has many awesome giveaways ,I have won some products wonderful ,vegan,teas and creams.
    Thanks

  • I'm loving the clean lines and the eggplant color. It reminds me of one of my favorite eyeshadows and I can already imagine how I would look and feel with this gem on my arm. Not to mention how smart I would feel knowing how much bang I got for my buck with the animal and earth friendliness and the great price.

    Is it available outside Canada? I can't seem to find a US shopping site.

  • Matt & Nat rock my vegan fashion world! I love the new bag and am happy that there are actually stylish options that are still earth and animal friendly. Good to know we can help save the planet and look great doing it :)

  • Vegan is great. Save the animals. Nice bag!

  • I am a vegetarian, but i wear a lot of vegan fashions. Sometimes its hard to find things that are super fashionable and vegan. I think this purse is awesome. The shape and style are great, but the color of this purse is the best part!

  • It is ABSOLUTELY THRILLING to see such high quality vegan goods!!! I don't eat animal products, but I was resigned to using leather in order to have quality shoes and bags. This line gives me new resolve to be that much more vegan. If I have a choice between leather and vegan, all other things being equal I will always choose the vegan! Thanks for this info!!!

  • I can't believe it's not butter!

  • I really love the bag. The size is perfect and the color is really nice. It's really great to save the planet one gorgeous bag at a time. Wish everyone would give back to the environment!

  • When I first saw this bag, I though, oh this is really cute! And now to find out it's vegan! Icing on the cake! Thanks to Matt&Nat for designing a vegan bag with such style.

  • Nice color!

  • Vegan and earth friendly can also be beautiful and functional like this handbag!

  • What a beautiful bag & no animals used...this is something I support and think it's a great way for fashion to go.

  • I love this bag. I've seen the Samsara line in stores and had no idea the bags weren't leather. Very pretty.

  • Brilliant marketing idea. Great way to get fashionistas to carry pleather.

  • I'm a vegan myself; so a lack of stylish vegan handbag options used to upset me, and I always end up buying real lesather purses instead of artificial leather. But this one looks very beautiful - I would totally carry it!

  • Beautiful bag! I'm glad to see a vegan handbag option that is stylish and looks well made.

  • it has a definite similarity to the rebecca minkoff "nikki" bags, *which are not only fabulous, but have a great name ;) * but being vegan just takes it over the top!

  • Love to see so many stylish, chic and affordable options for the bag lovers. Would love it more if it comes in some more bright colors for spring

  • That bag is gorgeous! I've been a vegan for almost a year now and it's made bag shopping a little tough. Though it's made my health much better and I feel great about my contribution to the environment. There are plenty of vegan bags, but good ones are few and far between.

    I recently purchased a python printed microfiber Carlos Falchi that is the same shape as the slouch hobo, and a coated canvas Marc by Marc Jacobs tote when I was at the Saks in Manhattan. I was thrilled when I was leaving and noticed that there was a table piled high with Matt and Nat bags! I've wanted one of these bags for a while but had yet to see them in person (I won't order a bag online if I've never seen it face to face). I didn't see them at the Saks here in Houston the last time I was there, but my next bag purchase is definitely going to be a Matt and Nat!

  • Purple and delicious-- love it!

  • This is a beautiful bag. I love the vegan option since we have gone green at our house. Organic fruits and veggies, recycling, composting, and switching to green cleaning products has helped our family lessen our impact on the environment. Thank you so much for a great giveaway.

  • Years ago I realized I have 'bag ADD', I require variety, LOTS of variety which means there would have to be a solar system of cows that would die to keep me in bags and shoes, so I began looking for 'faux' leather years ago, and now that more companies have joined me in caring about consumption in not just food, but clothes and fashion as well, there are not just leather substitutes out there, but stylish options that rival the traditional, and with competition comes the best part, affordability. I love this bag, it's hot, stylish, affordable and doesn't rob the earth to keep it's users 'in style'. It's nice to see that what's 'in style' is positively changing with the times!

  • Though I dont adhere to a vegan diet, I dont think we should be wearing animals if its not essential to our survival. I love the idea of vegan handbags, clothes and other accessories.

  • I support eco-friendly stuff and think that it's great! Rocking bag! :)

  • I wouldn't say that vegan leather is new (maybe the term is), but the look of fake leather has definitely improved and this is a good looking bag. Love the color.

  • What beautiful bags! I've loved Matt and Nat for quite a while, and these bags are stylish and consumption-conscious!

  • I think that having a vegan option is very responsible. It's hard to tell the difference between materials sometimes and these bags are just beautiful!

  • I eat vagan so I kind of like dressing that way too.

  • I love vegetables and absolutely LOVE this bag and the vegan accessories out there like the vegan shoes too!!! xoxox

  • I think cruelty free bags that are cute like this one are the way of the future.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  • I personally am not a vegan, or even a vegetarian, but after reading up on animal cruelty, I vowed to lessen my overall meat intake; I think any way that veganism can be incorporated into our daily lives is commendable and I would be proud to carry a vegan bag on my arm (especially if it's the samsara!).

  • I own a Matt and Nat wallet because I am in total support of the vegan fashion movement! But not only is it vegan, charitable, ecofriendly, and cute, it is an extremely good quality product. I've had my wallet for two years now, its still fashionable and functional. So needless to say this bag is so cute and would be fantastic for anyone to have in their collection, while being awesomely eco-friendly!

  • I think its great! It brings more awareness
    And my, that bag is amazing!
    Did I mention I'm in dire need of a new one?

  • This line of bags proves that fashion and responsibility can cohabitate. This bag is gorgeous!

  • Purple,very royal and responsible.Love it!!!

  • Very pretty!! I'd love to give it a test drive and see how durable it is--thanks for the chance!

    emvark at gmail dot com

  • I think going vegan is great. It's durable and still looks great. If I can contribute a little to the environment, why not? Plus, it's one more excuse to keep buying bags!

  • well i really like it!! its a great start for eco awareness...

  • As a female, I love to have options, but a leather bag is also an efficient use of an animal.

  • Many people do not know that leather bags contribute indirectly to the climate change issue. Samsara should be promoted widely as the alternatively, and continually improved to finally take over the popular leather used in luxury goods.

  • What I really like about this bag is that it looks like real leather! Sorry eco-friendly fashionistas everywhere but this perpetrator here hearts her leather bags... Hooray for vegan leather that looks like the real thing ;o)

  • Definitely fashion forward

  • Berry, my favorite color! A very rich look in a vegan option. Love.

  • very nice bag with an eco-friendly idea behind it!! thumbs up!

  • very nice bag with an eco-friendly idea behind it, thumbs up!!

  • I think the new trend towards environmentally and vegan fashion is wonderful! The fact that there are more options available makes it much easier for me to make responsible purchases, but still be chic

  • This is a great idea and a way to know if an item was made without hurting the environment or animals. There's no need to have a leather bag when these look so good.

  • Amazing idea. Not only you don't hurt and walk around with dead animal, but also donate some money to change the world ! You definitely have my support !

  • I love the color-and the shape!

  • This looks like a stylish bag and the celebrities would wear. And it happens to be in my favorite color.

  • I think it's a really great thing! Every little bit helps!
    sarahbcrawford(at)Gmail(Dot)com

  • It's a gorgeous bag and I am so happy to see opportunities for vegans and everyone else to be stylish without harming any animals. I love it.

  • What a great idea. I would like to win this for my sister who is a purple freak.

  • Love that you can be chic and enviro-friendly at the same time.

  • Love that you can be chic and enviro-friendly at the same time.

  • I think its great! I have so many vegetarian friends that would be much more comfortable hanging out with me if I can be animal friendly in some ways even if I'm going to eat meat!

  • I think it's definitely very enviromental-friendly and it's very chic at the same time. Going green is trendy and so is the bag.

  • As a vegetarian, I feel guilty for using leather. But, there's just not much I can find which is fashionable, durable and NOT real leather. I would totally use this bag...in fact, I'll probably buy it if I don't win it.

  • The idea of fierce fashion without harming innocent animals is a great idea.

  • Very nice. Good idea doing away with leather!

  • Vegan Bags...what a lovely idea! This is wonderful for the environmentally conscious bagista in us all.

  • What a fantastic idea - beautiful bags that don't harm the planet! Love it!

  • This is a great-looking bag, and a great idea! I recently went vegan (food only, can't give up all my leather bags/shoes just yet), and I am very happy with that decision. I do feel a bit embarrassed bringing my leather bags into vegan restaurants - this bag would be a great solution for me. I absolutely love it!

  • Fabulous! I still haven't seen a M & N bag IRL, but just love their concepts! And also the donation idea. So nice to see a chic looking eco friendly bag that is snob worthy!

  • I think it's a wonderful alternative and anything to help saving the planet is just fabulous!

  • The bag is just gorgeous and the fact that it's eco-friendly and vegan makes it even more beautiful! Way to go Matt&Natt! I think all vegan initiatives should be supported and marketed, so at least we all know there is a fashionable option to leather.

  • This bag is beautiful! I love the color (my favorite!) and the idea that it is eco friendly and vegan is even more amazing because who knew such a beautiful snob worthy bag could be healthy for the planet too!

  • This is a beautiful bag! I love the color! The fact that it's vegan and eco friendly just makes it that much more special.

  • Great way to go Green.

  • It is fashionable and it is awesome that it is completely natural. Good for the enviroment and eco friendly is something that each and every one of us should be more conscious of.

  • I love the idea of vegan "leather" products. My only complaint is that the material is often so stiff, like pvc. I like faux leather more, and I think it looks more realistic, when it's soft and pliable.

  • Everyone nowadays are trying to do as much as possible to help save the planet: recycling and turning off appliances in an attempt to cut down their carbon footprint. However, people don't think that much about animals and fashion. To have a vegan bag thats good for the environment and saves a heck of a lot of animals in the process is an amazing idea, and everyone should be thankful that Matt & Nat came up with it. Many of my friends are vegan and they would be very proud of me to carry a vegan bag... they would all want one after seeing this!! i really love the colour and would use it everyday if i won it!

  • I love this bag and this giveaway

  • love it, fashion and ecofriendly

  • Why not go for the vegan guilt free option and leave the animals of the world for the future to enjoy... I say go for it!!!

  • Being an animal lover I love the Vegan option.I love the bag and the color is awesome. Would be proud to carry this bag around. Thanks for a chance to win such a wonderful bag.

  • I love the bag. Sometimes it is hard to acknowledge that your so cool Uggs are - sheep. Awareness and edcuation . The purse is lovely and could be used as an effective educational tool.

  • I love it. Vegan fashion should be the way all designers do their line. helping the earth is so cool.

  • Being an animal lover I love the Vegan option, it has always been hard to find fashion that is vegan friendly

  • Personally, I think it not only looks great but IS great - I am 100% pro-Vegan!
    I think we're finally evolved enough to realize there is nothing desireable to carting around dead animals to adorn our bodies - fur, cosmetics, leather, etc. That was fine when we we cavemen and didn't have other options LOL

  • Lovely! A great bag and socially sensitive! You GO Matt and Nat!

  • I think its great, mabey more companies will follow with the idea

  • i think any time a company takes animal cruelty out of the equation is fantastic.

  • I love the color and styling of this bag. If I didn't know it, would never think it was vegan. It offers a fashionable alternative for those of us interested in vegan friendly options.

  • It's a great looking bag. It's nice to have a Vegan option without having to sacrifice quality. Thanks!

  • I like the vegan option. I love the colors too.

  • I love that now stylish vegan items are available at a price I can afford

  • The great thing about Matt & Nat is that their vegan bags still have a great look and feel to them, so it's not like you have to feel like you are settling for a "cheap, fake leather" bag. That they use eco-friendly means to manufacture the bags makes them even better. And the donation for each sale is a terrific bonus as well. All around, a great company with a great product that one can feel good about owning!

  • I have never heard of a vegan bag before but I love it. What a great way to be stylish and also support our Earth at the same time. I love it!

  • For me vegan options are A MUST!!! I have been vegan for over 3 years, vegetarian for 7. I refuse to buy purses, shoes, etc. that are not animal friendly. I fully support companies who go out of their way to provide quality goods that are 100% animal free.

    *As long as humans believe that animals can't feel animals will have to feel that humans can't think.

  • I think it is a wonderful idea. I am an animal lover, so I am all for it!

  • omg love it!! how amazing!

  • I love the option for vegan friendly fashion. If it comes down to a leather purse or a vegan option I will take the vegan option!

  • I love being fashionable and good to the environment at the same time. Giving back to the community is a must.

  • Its a great way to help our planet

  • I think its great, the fact alot of purses hold alot of chemicals and other things is disgusting- personally I have bought purses and returned that have emiiteed chemical odos because they made me sick..this is a great option

  • I think it is wonderful! And a great way to help save the planet and stay fashion at the same time.

  • Having been vegetarian for over 20 years, I love the fact that I dont have to have a leather bag. Plus the design of this vegan bag is super.

  • A vegan option is a wonderful idea. And the colors are great!

  • I think Americans need to be more aware of what we are doing to this world and to what lives on it. I think this is a great idea.

  • I think it's a terrific idea.

  • I HAVE SEEN BETTER

  • I HAVE SEEN BETTER

  • Its a great option for people aware of animal issues.

  • Who knew being eco-friendly and vegan and philanthropic could be so overwhelmingly CHIC and GLAMOROUS! I am so impressed with this exquisite bag and the fact that there are proceeds from the sale of it going towards being kinder to our earth, it's a win, win situation! I am making efforts everyday to green up my act and learning about eco-friendly gorgeous fashion accessories like this just takes me one step further on my journey! Wearing this amazing handbag would "carry" so much meaning and significance behind it so thank you so much for the opportunity to enter.

  • I love this bag!

  • First of all I LOVE Matt & Nat's designs! I don't own any though. I agree that they are innovators. My children and I love animals and I'm raising them to be loving and aware of how to protect the environment. Thanks!

  • It's beautiful! It's time to re-think what we do and use. Just because leather has always been used to make quality bags doesn't mean its the best thing to do.

  • I'd love to win this for my wife!

  • I feel it adds to the looks that are available. In addition saves our resources while providing developing companies a new source of filling the needs of the consumer. I remember buying my first recycled license plate handbag and felt I was helping to save the world one piece of junk at a time.

  • I think it is a great idea. The bags are wonderful! I'd love to have this one. The idea of giving to charity with each bag sold is terrific! karin @ savvythinker.com

  • The fashion is fantastic and it's protecting our environment. Can't get better then that!

  • That is a gorgeous bag and eco friendly too. Cool!

  • Here is proof that a bag doesn't have to be made from animal skins to be high fashion. I would carry this bag proudly! Fabulous!

  • I think it's gorgeous - and I have been trying to move my wardrobe away from leather as I move my diet to vegetarian - but finding nice shoes and bags has been hard!

  • I think it is an awesome idea! Having stylish fashion and being environmentally friendly is wonderful!

  • Fashion without cruelty. Nice looking bag.

  • the bag is really nice, not my color though.

  • I think that this idea is wonderful and very fashion forward thinking.
    Thanks for this giveaway!!!

  • I think without the plum color, this bag may look a tad generic. The plum color definitely gives it an extra "oof". I really enjoy seeing how Matt & Nat are evolving their line(s)!

  • Not only is the bag nice looking, it also seems comfy and functional. I am amazed by the fact that you can get an eco-friendly and vegan bag to look this good.

  • This is certainly a stylish handbag and I think it's great. Good for Matt & Nat and I hope they'll create more.

  • This looks fantastic! I like the fact that not only does it not look like a plastic purse, it's made in an eco-friendly fashion so I don't have to worry about being gassed by vinyl fumes while carrying it! Love it!

  • I am really for the vegan option when buying bags! hopefully more people will support this trend.

  • I love it! As a vegan, I have not worn or purchased leather products for over twenty years. As a woman that has been hard since my options for shoes and bags has been very limited and not very cute. I am so happy that there are more high quality great looking items available now.

  • i think it's a great idea :0)

  • its taking the bull by the horns! mverno@roadrunner.com

  • The bag is gorgeous! I like having a vegan option for people, whether they are just trying to be socially conscious or fashionable! There are tons of good reasons to support eco-friendly designers - I'm glad to see and purchase products I can feel good about.

  • Very important option in todays world. Gorgeous bad!

  • I like the trend. If people have options, they'll exercise those options. My daughter is vegan and the selection has been very limited for far too long!

  • I love this bag. It's gorgeous! It's good to know that there are ECO-Friendly designers out there making great stuff!

  • Ooh so cute! I love vegan fashion. I've found so many cute eco friendly vegan items such as shoes, handbags, and even clothing! Love it.

  • This bags looks like one of those expensive designer bags. I am excited about these eco friendly bags. Everything we wear and carry should be ECO-friendly. I am very aware of the products that help our environment. Thanks for the chance to win.

  • Love the idea of vegan product. I am very aware of eco friendly products and support anything that is eco friendly.

  • I think it's great to have the option to buy items thatare vegan and earth and animal friendly.

  • I think that it's great to have a vegan fashion option and products! There are more and more companies who recognize the need for well designed and fashionable eco-friendly products.
    This is one of them! I love this bag :)

    dawns_horizen@yahoo.com

  • I like the idea, and how it looks beautiful and is good for everyone involved!

  • I love it...it's earth-friendly, stylish and animal-friendly...what more could you want??

    kylie8cake(at)gmail(dot)com

  • vegan fashion is new to me. Interesting selling point

  • I think it is great that our fashions are heading totally all natural.About time!It is better for our envirement and for our health.

  • This bag is awesome! I love that it is vegan and very stylish. Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Yay for vegan fashion!! It's great for the environment and chic!

  • I love that there are finally options out there for us. Vegan/Eco fashion was so limiting and not very appealing now we can find stuff; like the bag, that are fashion forward.

  • Who would ever thunk it as we some times say in the South. This looks very high end in style and materials. I love it.

  • Ooh I love the color its simply delish

  • I think it's an awesome idea and that many more companies should look to Matt & Nat and make vegan options in their collections as well. Being green and conscious of the earth is great because our resources may one day wear out and options like this are gorgeous and just as pretty!

  • Some vegan bags can look so cheap and tacky, and fall apart within weeks, sometimes days, but this bag looks discreetly expensive and classy enough to rival its designer leather rivals. I wish more bags could be animal friendly and stylish like this gorgeous one is!

  • I do like the vegan option, however it's important to design collections for all price classes.. often it can be that if you want something very eco, it's double the price and that's just sometimes impossible: people want affordable things. Luckily this bag was eco, and affordable!

  • I am still skeptical on it really turning into a something that will have staying power. Right now, the fad is being "green" and we see it in everything but only time will tell if it will really stay that way...

  • I think vegan options are great because the easier it is for people to go vegan/green, the more apt they are to go that route!
    Thanks

  • I think this bag is awesome! It is so stylish and looks just as good, if not better, than the non-vegan purses.

  • think its cool that the bag is vegan makes it easier for one to go that route.

  • I love that we are all becoming more aware of our impact on the Earth and by making easy and fashionable changes we can all save the world. :-)

  • This new fashion forward vegan option is such a wonderful idea. Every fashion line should adapt to this earth friendly craze. Every bit of earth friendly products is another step towards protecting our earth.

  • thanks 4 chance 2 win this bag--excellant

  • Fashionable, environmentally friendly and beautiful. Can't beat that! Thanks.

  • I am all for going vegan. It makes me feel good to know that I can own a gorgeous purse without any animals being affected in any way.

  • This is the sensible evolution of fashion and empathy.

  • If this vegan "leather" is as long lasting as the "other leather" it is a winner! ANd I absolutely love the color! Hooooya!

  • superb color, great size & fabulous philosophy!

  • What a beautiful bag!!

  • Cutest bag I've ever seen! And Vegan, too!!! Woot! I need this sooo bad!

  • this is very hard to shop online for a bag, it must have THIS and it must not be TOO... i am particular about this staple in my wardrobe

  • i think its good that there is a vegan trend towards bags. and i am sure with it being eco friendly we will be seeing more more of these types of bags. thank you

  • I like the idea of vegan fashion but as long as the fashion aspect isn't sacrificed. This bag is gorgeous and if they can make sexy, quality bags...I could really care less what they're made out of....but if its better for our earth and our co-habitants (animals) then all the better.

  • Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about the vegan handbag. Sure, it's fashionable, but how does it feel? Maybe I'll be lucky enough to find out!

  • I think it's gorgeous - much better than what I would expect for a vegan purse!!

  • Trully stunning---and I promise to compost it when I'm done!

  • I love that it is simple with a slight edge. The color is rich and gorgeous.

  • I'm especially glad that my niece will finally have some options in bags, shoes, and accessories.

  • This is an awesome bag.I just love it.It would look great on my arm.Please let me win it.

  • I love the bag! The color is gorgeous and I love that it's eco friendly. The best part is the price!

  • I have a hard time understanding how a non-degradable PVC bag can be considered eco friendly. That, and all their bags are made in China, which adds a whole other ethical twist to this dilemma. I think it is important to recognize when companies actually care, and when they are just good at marketing.

  • Well said, pina colada. PVC is a horrible material that is toxic and not eco-friendly at all. Everyone, go and research the health and environmental risks of PVC. Also, I am appalled that a purse made from a cheap vinyl/plastic compound can cost that much! There are much safer alternatives to this material. Please do your homework everyone before you support a company that is just trying to cash in on the vegan movement.
