Q: What is the LaBante Zuri Backpack?
A: The Zuri is an everyday backpack from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011. It's made from plant-based vegan leather, with no PVC and no animal hide. The lining is made from recycled plastic bottles. It's PETA-Certified.
Q: Can the Zuri turn into a shoulder bag or crossbody?
A: Yes. Detachable, adjustable straps let it switch between a backpack, a shoulder bag, or a crossbody.
Q: How long will the Zuri last?
A: With normal use, the Zuri lasts for years. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Zuri 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 Zuri 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 Zuri?
A: Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Tuck the straps in when you store it. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.
Q: What makes the Zuri stand out?
A: The round LaBante logo and gunmetal hardware. Simple and put-together, without being flashy.
Q: Is the Zuri 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 Zuri a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. Most people can't tell it apart from real leather. It’s the perfect gift for the man or woman you love. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or buy it at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
