Q: What is the LaBante Aurora Crossbody?
A: The Aurora is a crossbody bag from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011, part of the LaBante x Iris Scott Artist Collection. It's made from plant-based microfibre and recycled leather, with no PVC and no animal hide. The strap is hand-painted by artist Iris Scott. The lining is made from recycled plastic bottles. PETA Certified and made under SEDEX-audited working conditions.
Q: How many ways can I wear the Aurora?
A: Three. Wear it as a long crossbody, a short shoulder bag, or take off the strap and use it as a clutch.
Q: How long will the Aurora last?
A: With normal use, the Aurora lasts for years. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Aurora peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No. It's made to avoid the smell and cracking common in cheap vegan bags. Keep the painted strap dry so the art stays sharp.
Q: Is the Aurora water-resistant?
A: It handles light rain and small splashes fine. If it gets wet, wipe it dry and let it air dry.
Q: How do I clean and store the Aurora?
A: Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Keep the painted strap dry. Store it in its gift box. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.
Q: Who painted the Aurora's strap?
A: US artist Iris Scott. She paints each strap by hand, so no two bags are exactly alike.
Q: Is the Aurora an eco-friendly bag?
A: Yes. The lining reuses old plastic bottles. It ships in a plastic-free gift box with a hidden note that says "And she persisted."
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 Aurora a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. It comes gift-boxed with one-of-a-kind art, so it feels special no matter who opens it. It’s the perfect gift for the Woman you love. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or buy it at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
