What to Look For in a Vegan Handbag

by / Jan 20, 2020

Vegan leather is synthetic leather, or leather that is made from manmade or plant-based materials instead of containing any type of animal product. In modern times, veganism is more present than ever before. Regardless of the reason behind each individual's choice to purchase vegan products, it’s good to know that animal-free alternatives are not synonymous with a sacrifice to quality, luxury, or style.

SENREVE is proud to offer sustainable alternatives to traditional leather-made products, and we’ve created a unique product that maintains the traditional craftsmanship of our handbags, without the use of any animal products or by-products.

If you are interested in a vegan handbag, read on to learn more about where to find them and what you should look for.

What is Vegan Leather?

Vegan leather by definition is any material that resembles animal leather but is made without the use of any animal products. Real leather, on the other hand, is produced from the tanned hides of an animal. There are many types of synthetic materials used in faux leather to help resemble that of normal leather, and the manufacturing processes can vary depending on that material.

The most common materials used to produce vegan leather is PVC leather and PU leather. However, it can also be manufactured from organic materials such as cork, apple peels, and even pineapple leaves.

Not all genuine leather alternatives are created equally, which is why SENREVE has made a commitment to not only maintain high quality in our vegan leather, but to make sure it’s sustainably sourced and produced.
