If you grew up watching TLC, reading Vogue magazine, or wandering the aisles of Neiman Marcus, you know that handbags and purses are usually only considered luxurious if they’re made from premium leather. Trying to find non-leather, luxurious, vegan bags can feel frustrating when you’re surrounding by products you like made with materials you don’t. These five brands offer stunning alternatives to traditional leather bags, with prices you’ll love and the quality, non-leather materials you’ve been looking for.
