“The product/design has to be there first. At the end of the day, when it comes to fashion, people still buy the product first and then the story.”

—-Inder Bedi, founder of Matt & Nat, a vegan handbag business, on what makes their products successful during an interview with the LA Times.

Matt & Nat products have been given love by Ellen DeGeneres, and Jorja Fox has a Matt & Nat purse named after her.

Hmmm…we wonder what it takes to get a vegan bag named after  you…

W Magazine has compiled a slideshow of accessories every vegan and animal lover should check off on their next shopping trip.

The Matt & Nat handbags like the one shown here are a favorite of Ellen DeGeneres and that darn veggie diva Jorja Fox even has several bags named after her!

Besides the handbag, there’s a vegan shoe by Elizabeth Olsen and Vivienne Westwood shoes made from sustainable plastic.

Our favorite guilty vegan accessory: Erin McKenna’s vegan sweets cookbook, containing many recipes used in her New York vegan bakery, Baby Cakes. 

Uh-oh, did someone say vegan sweets? Dr. Ian Smith…help!

Clothing is expensive enough. When you throw in designer labels and aim to be cruelty-free the price jumps so much, it makes you want to take a sewing class and make your own.

Leona Lewis wants to change that and expressed her desire to do so to Sunday Express’ S.

“I love Stella McCartney – but her clothes are very expensive,” Lewis said of the eco-friendly fashion designer. “I think people need a more affordable option.”

“I’m trying to find the right companies to work with, sourcing different things and talking to creative teams.”

“I would love to promote an affordable line of non-leather bags and shoes.”
