We here at Swanky Veg as a general rule prefer fabric bags to faux leather. But there is a certain durability you lack when you just go around with just fabric bags - no matter how vintage and pretty. These bags by Crystalyn Kae and Matt and Nat are great looking vegan bags with all the sturdiness you want. Fabric is great for summer (and generally cheaper) but all you need is one great faux bag to be able to grab out of your closet when you need it.
