Q: What is the LaBante Magnolia Bowling Bag?
A: The Magnolia is a bowling-style bag from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011, part of the Kindness Couture Collection. It's made from premium plant-based vegan leather, with no PVC and no animal hide. The lining is made from recycled plastic bottles, in a deep aubergine color. It's PETA-Certified.
Q: Can I wear the Magnolia crossbody?
A: Yes. A detachable strap turns it into a crossbody bag whenever you need your hands free.
Q: How long will the Magnolia last?
A: With normal use, the Magnolia lasts for years. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Magnolia peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No. It's made to avoid the smell and cracking common in cheap vegan bags. Keep it out of direct heat and sun.
Q: Is the Magnolia 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 Magnolia?
A: Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the gold hardware with a dry cloth. Store it upright in its dust bag. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.
Q: Is the Magnolia good for day and night?
A: Yes. Its shape and gold hardware work for daytime and dinner, so you don't need to switch bags.
Q: Is the Magnolia an eco-friendly bag?
A: Yes. It's made without animal parts, and the lining reuses old plastic bottles.
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 Magnolia a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. Most people can't tell it apart from real leather. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or buy it at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
