Best Vegan Tote Bags

Vegan tote bags are made without the use of any animal materials, including leather, suede, fur, silk or wool. There are a wide variety of vegan materials that can be used to make vegan tote bags, including polyurethane (also known as PU); however, we select brands using the highest quality vegan leathers, such as Piñatex (which is made from pineapple leaf fibres), Vegea grape leather (made from leftover grapes from the wine industry), olive leather, Desserto cactus leather, apple leather, Oleatex olive leather, cork, and MIRUM, the world's first fully plastic-free vegan leather.

Vegan tote bags can absolutely can be very high quality! Whilst not all brands are equal, at Immaculate Vegan we select vegan and sustainable bag brands that make high quality, stylish and cruelty free vegan tote bags using the best quality vegan leathers. We have hundreds of vegan bags in our Vegan Bags collection.

To clean your vegan leather tote bag: firstly, use a dry cloth to lightly wipe any dust or dirt off. With soapy water and a cloth, gently clean the material. Do not submerge the tote bag – this could cause irreversible damage. Let your vegan tote bag dry away from direct sunlight, and once it is dry, apply a small amount of polishing cream using a dry, soft cloth. Rub the cream sparingly over the bag in a circular motion until it is fully absorbed. Leave your tote bag to dry naturally for 24 hours and it'll be good to go.

Many vegan tote bags now are made using high quality and durable materials, and many of the new vegan leathers are of very high quality. But you can make your vegan tote bag last longer by taking care of it well. With proper care, vegan tote bags can last for many years, depending on how much wear and tear they encounter, which is the same as their animal-leather counterparts.

Vegan tote bags are available at many different price points from a variety of brands. However, if you're looking for vegan tote bags made sustainably, with plant-based leathers instead of plastic-based vegan leathers, these will be more expensive – but they will look much better and last longer. In addition, brands who use ethical labour, where their workers are paid a living wage and treated fairly, will be more expensive. We think it's worth the investment!
