All Bags & Wallets

Pretty much everything you might want to carry. The range covers crossbody bags, shoulder bags, backpacks, tote bags, laptop bags, carryalls, clutches, belt bags, and wallets. What they all have in common: every single one is PETA-Certified, completely PVC-free, and made without any animal products.

Yes, without exception. No animal leather, no animal-based glues, no animal-derived dyes anywhere in the range. LaBante London holds PETA Certification across the board, which means every product has been independently verified as cruelty-free.

LaBante uses two signature plant-based materials. LaBante plant-based leather, made from vegetable by-products, is used across most of the range as the main exterior. Blue Star is LaBante's cruelty-free microfibre, used in the Weaver Believer handwoven pieces and selected bags. Both are biodegradable and free from PVC and PU. The Sophie Tote uses Apple leather, made from leftover apple juice industry pulp. All bag linings are made from reclaimed single-use plastic bottles. Nothing fossil-fuel-derived, nothing animal-based.

The credentials are verifiable. LaBante bags are made without PVC, PU, or fossil-fuel-derived plastics, linings divert reclaimed plastic bottles from landfill, and every purchase plants trees in Madagascar. The brand has been featured for Nordstrom's Sustainable Edit, which is not something retailers give out lightly.

LaBante London bags are PETA-Certified for vegan and cruelty-free production, and manufactured under SEDEX-audited supply chain conditions. That second one matters: SEDEX auditing covers equal-opportunity hiring, inclusion for people with disabilities, and fully paid maternity leave for workers.

Designed in London, handcrafted in India and Portugal. LaBante wallets in particular are made by women artisans working under SEDEX-audited conditions, meaning fair wages, proper maternity leave, and transparent working practices are all part of the picture.

Plant-based vegan leather performs comparably to genuine leather for everyday use when cared for correctly. LaBante bags are designed for long-term daily carry: the exteriors hold their shape and surface finish well over time, and the brand backs this with a 1-year warranty on all products. The key differences are care (no conditioning oils needed, just wipe with a damp cloth) and environmental impact: no livestock farming, no toxic chemical tanning, and in the case of LaBante leather, biodegradable at end of life.

The plant-based leather and microfibre exteriors handle light rain and everyday splashes well and wipe clean easily with a soft cloth. They are not designed for heavy rain or submersion. If caught in a downpour, wipe dry as soon as possible and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Storing bags in the included dust bag between uses helps protect the surface finish over time.

With regular everyday use and proper care, a LaBante bag is built to last for several years. The plant-based leather is chosen for its durability as much as its sustainability credentials: wipe clean after use, store in the dust bag when not in use, avoid overloading. LaBante backs every product with a 1-year warranty and a 60-day no-questions-asked returns policy.

Yes, absolutely. LaBante bags look and feel like premium leather and are built to the same quality standard, with no animal products involved. Most people who receive one are genuinely surprised by how good it feels. And because every purchase plants trees, you are not giving one gift but two: one to them, one to the planet. It is the rare gift that lets you do good and feel good at the same time. The PETA Certification is a nice bonus, but you do not need to care about that to love the bag.

Standard PU (polyurethane) leather is made from petroleum-derived chemicals: a fossil-fuel product that does not biodegrade and is environmentally damaging to produce. LaBante uses two signature plant-based materials instead. LaBante plant-based leather is made from vegetable by-products. Blue Star is LaBante’s cruelty-free microfibre. Both are biodegradable and free from PVC and PU. No oil extraction, no livestock farming, no toxic tanning chemicals. LaBante also avoids PVC entirely across the range.

LaBante offers 60-day returns from the date of purchase, no questions asked, and a 1-year warranty on all products. Returns are free in both the US and UK.
