For those who prefer not to wear leather, Matt & Nat make some fabulous vegan bags, so you can rest assured that you don’t have a dead cow or any other creature hanging off your shoulder. Peta awarded Matt & Nat a Proggy award in 2005 for creating the best collection of cruelty-free handbags. Their synthetic leather bags are mostly constructed from PVC and sometimes PU (polyurethane). I know these are not great for the environment but they beat using leather. Here are my top five! The first one, to the left is a Queen Vintage Bowler in cognac for £90.
