Q: What is the LaBante Demi Shoulder Bag?
A: The Demi is a structured, vegan leather laptop bag for
women from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011 and shown at the V&A Museum's Handbag Exhibition in London. It's made from plant-based leather with gold hardware and a recycled plastic bottle lining. No PVC, no animal hide, and PETA-Certified.
Q: Does the Demi fit a laptop?
A: Yes. It has a 13-inch laptop sleeve, two outer zip
compartments, a central zip, and inside pockets for your keys and
phone.
Q: How long will the Demi last?
A: Built for daily carry, the Demi holds its shape and finish
for years with normal use. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Demi peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No PVC means no strong plastic smell and no early cracking,
the most common complaint with cheap vegan leather. Keep it away from direct heat and it will keep its finish.
Q: Is the Demi water-resistant?
A: It handles light rain and everyday splashes well. It's not
made for heavy downpours. If it gets wet, wipe it dry right away and air dry it away from direct heat.
Q: How do I clean and store the Demi?
A: Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Store it upright
in its dust bag, lightly stuffed with tissue paper to help it hold
its shape. For stubborn stains use store bought leather wipe.
Q: Can I carry the Demi hands-free?
A: Yes. A removable, adjustable strap turns it from a shoulder
bag into a crossbody, so your hands are free when you need them.
Shoulder for the boardroom, crossbody for the commute.
Q: Is the Demi an eco-friendly bag?
A: Yes, one of LaBante's more sustainable vegan handbags:
plant-based instead of animal hide, a recycled bottle lining, and
zero PVC.
Q: What is LaBante's returns and warranty policy?
A: 60-day returns from the date you buy it, and a 1-year
warranty on every product. Returns are free in the US and UK.
Q: Is the Demi a good gift?
A: Yes. It looks like a luxury handbag, and most people can't
tell it's not real leather. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or you can
buy it directly at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over
$150.
