LaBante London
Overview
LaBante London has a wide selection of vegan handbags, with lovely options for occasions fancy, professional, or everyday. They’ve also got a nice range when it comes to prices – some bags are definitely on the premium side, but they also have plenty of more accessible options. The wide variety paired with their A+ ethics make them one of my favorite vegan handbag brands.

Our bags and jewelry are not only covetable but also vegan, environmentally friendly, and ethically produced. We want to give consumers the experience of luxury, of the finest craftsmanship, of a timeless aesthetic, while respecting the world we live in. Every season the brand releases a handbag collection – for a day at the office or a night out – that is on-trend and exudes a British sensibility.
