Style Wise

Small impact on the planet is the undeniable big scene of the moment. Suddenly faux is fashionable, rendering leather into a regular faux pas, and we’re certainly not complaining. We at UrbanMinx are absolutely in love with the profusion of gorgeous vegan bags offered by the most innovative accessory gurus out there.

At the top of our list of fashion, function, and furry-creature-friendly bags is brand Big Buddha. Having found its humble beginnings in the college dorm room of designer Jeremy Bassan, the line has been featured in mags like In Style, Lucky, Teen Vogue, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Marie Claire, as well as gaining a broad and diverse celebrity following. Even the ladies on The View put in a good word for Big Buddha.

Brand new at UrbanMinx is the irresistible Big Buddha Uptown Bag, along with its sister style, the Shelby. If you like your eco-conscious efforts to have a little edge, I would definitely recommend the Tiny Dancer style in black.

While you’re grazing green styles, don’t forget to take a look at designer Melie Bianco. Bianco bags make doing your part for the planet an exercise in chic.
