What a shady headline, right? Sorry, guys…I didn’t know how else to write it! On Wednesday, the ladies of the The View  — also known as Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselback, Whoopi Goldberg, and Sherri Shepherd — gave their audience members a super special gift! Each person in the crowd got a $150 gift card to ebags.com to pick out a Big Buddha Handbag.

Why is Big Buddha so great? Well some of them (I repeat, SOME), like the Bonnie Bag, are totally vegan — made with synthetic PVC for that leather-look without the leather-cruelty. But wait, synthetic PVC? Is that anywhere near environmentally-friendly? Great, now I’m conflicted!

What do YOU do when you want stylish fashion that’s leather-free and also good for the planet? Do you have a favorite eco-designer that’s veggie too?  Chime in and tell us what all you eco-loving, veg-eating environmentalists do for fashion!

    I love Matt & Nat handbags. I have two of them and I would have more but I don’t want to be a consumer gone wild. My favorite one is made from recycled plastic drink bottles. It is the coolest, chicest most fashionable bag I have ever seen, I love it! It is vegan and made from recycled materials. You don’t have to sacrifice design and style to live compassionately, quite the opposite. Leather/fur/animal goods are tacky and a real throw back to like caveman days. I am a woman of the present and future, no pelts for me. Diminishing your impact of harm to this planet is what is truly stylish and sexy.

    Leather is also very environmentally damaging. So you can choose bad for the planet and bad for animals: leather, or bad for the planet: synthetic, or go for some natural plant fibres, like hemp, bamboo or cork, and win on all sides!
