I found a really cool cruelty-free bag designer, I love her! The designer is called Melie Bianco...it's a wife/hubby team and she graduated from FIT in NYC. Melie has been in InStyle, Lucky, Vogue, and blah blee more stuff. I've never heard of her...?
I got my first Melie bag on eBay, just last week...even though it's faux, it really has a nice texture compared to other faux's I've had. Very well crafted too. They only thing I wished is that they would use metal zippers, not plastic.
I got
this one, it's sort of a spin of a Chloe Padlock bag, a Birkin, and toss in a little bit of the current coveted Celine.
