For those who are concerned about the environment and animals, and wouldn’t touch a real leather bag with a 10-foot pole, or really for those who just love a well-crafted purse, 88 is the purse brand for you. The owner is a life-long vegetarian who wanted to create something that was vegan, affordable and environmental. These are seriously luxurious vegan handbags.

And beyond all that, 88 just makes a great purse. This one, featured here, is the Jesse Top Zip Crossbody Bag in taupe. It also comes in blue and a taupe/white/black combo.

And what’s so great about the bag? It’s small enough to barely notice you’re toting around a bag. It’s large enough to carry all your essentials - purse, keys, wallet, lipstick, etc… The color is classic enough to go with nearly every outfit you put on. The side zipper pouch is a simple place to store your phone or other item you need quickly, while still keeping it secure. The strap is adjustable making it convenient no matter your height or purse length preferences.

And the quality is excellent. You know how sometimes when you get a vegan leather item it smells or feels weird? Well, this looks like the real thing. It feels really close to the real thing. And it doesn’t have a funky smell to it, which I personally really appreciate. Basically, vegan handbags at their finest.
