If you're on the hunt for a new bag or backpack this back to school season, vegan leather is an excellent choice considering it is eco-friendly, sustainable, affordable and still stylish. The list of vegan brands is growing since the use of vegan leather has become increasingly popular over the years — and it appears that the trend is here to stay.

Vegan bags can be made from materials such as fruit waste like fibers and skins, recycled plastic and rubber, or polyurethane. Many vegan brands are creating bags that are durable and will last years — another plus point for using vegan leather as opposed to its animal-derived alternative.

Although vegan leather has its own environmental challenges such as the use of plastic, it still presents itself as a solid substitute to real leather for many, especially since it's better for animals and your wallet.

Whether you are looking for a classic baguette bag, tote, or even a wristlet that is vegan-friendly, there are a plethora of options to check out. If you're ready to embrace vegan leather that is just as fashionable as real leather, we found ten picks for you to shop below.
