I love my tan Birkin-inspired bag, it has great clean lines and a classy look. I’d love to win the purple bag for when I need to fit my Kindle and some flat shoes for a day in the city.
Love the Purple Giant City bag! It’s gorgeous, purple, large and has a shoulder strap option! Thank you for the opportunity to win this fabulous bag. :)
How wonderfully sophisticated and classy is the Birkin inspired black bag. Nothing like a beautiful black bag to take you everywhere!
‘The purple giant city’…inspirational colour, large enough and stylish enough to hold my lessons, get me through the crowded subways in the mornings & arrive at my teaching jobs with a smile on my face!
Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag is cute, sassy and fun… would put a spring in anyone’s step
I LOVE the Marc Jacobs Inspired Bronze Stam Bag! The colour is suitable for day or evening and the removable chain strap makes is great for those who prefer a shoulder bag.
I love the Betsy Johnson black bag with the peace sign. Black goes with everything and I love peace signs…even have a peace tattoo. All of the handbags are gorgeous.
I absolutely LOVE the gold paddington bag!! I love the sleek look and hardware of the bag. The fact that it is vegan just makes it all the more wonderful! All the bags are so stylish and beautifully made:)
I like the
Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag. I love it the best because it it classy and it is my favorite color of my favorite car 56 T bird. Thank you for picking me to win this bag.
I love all the bag but the black one would be great as it would go with my “dress-up”dresses as well as my casual clothes. I have been a vegan for over a year and a vegetarian for over ten years. I have a Kathy bag but it is falling apart.I would love to have a vegan bag.
Love the Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City. Such a designer bag. If I don’t win it, I WILL buy it!
As a person who is currently bagless (my summer bag isn’t appropriate for the winter months!), I’m torn between the Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City and the Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag. The purple because it looks large and roomy for a mom bag, while being stylish; and the spybag because it’s a lovely blue and called a “spybag”. How cool is that to make the mom contents more exciting? :)
Each one is stunning. I just love that they are vegan. I try everyday to be cruelty free. Often it is difficult to get help from stores when you state ‘ I DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE LEATHER” but I always keep moving forward to be cruelty free. I do love the blue smile
Thank you for all you are doing
Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City is my favorite. I love large bags with lots of zippers and hardware. I usually go for black, but this purple is nice in that it should go with anything, and especially great for fall/winter.
I love the Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City. It is a wonderful color and looks very fashionable and functional!
I love the Fendi Inspired Bright blue spy bag! It reminds me of a perfect spring day and the color of my kids eyes. What could be better than cruelty free products?! Being vegan is one of the best things I have ever done!
It’s gotta be the Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag! The color is gorgeous!
The Balenciaga Purple Giant City bag is hands down my favorite. It has a beautiful, rich color, wonderful detailing, and is just funky enough to say “I’m hip” while still being classy — and, of course, it’s vegan, which makes it just perfect. And it looks like it holds tons of stuff, to boot!
Definately have to go with the Balenciaga! When I looked at the closeup I was amazed at how soft it looks AND it’s vegan!! The color…the details…it’s just gorgeous :)
I love Marc Jacobs! His bags are amazing so its great to have a vegan option. I love the gold chain strap and the rich brown color. Wonderful!
I have been trying to buy only vegan products for a while and the Balenciaga is perfect. The color can be used year round and the size is great!
I love the Bronze Stam Bag - the color will go with almost anything, and it has two handles for more choices!
I love the Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag because it’s simultaneously modern and classic, plus the color is gorgeous and cheery (turquoise is my favorite). I also love that it looks nice and sturdy :)
I love the Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City because it comes in my favorite color. It also looks fashionable and functional.
I love the Fendi Inspired Bright Blue Spybag for its bright contrasting color, smaller size, and clever hidden coin pocket.
I like them all but I would use the Hermes Inspired Black Textured Birkin since it’s classic and timeless. Very nice!
Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City - I love it because it reminds me of the Japanese Ichiban Eggplant I grew this year as an experiment. I made Lower calorie Eggplant Parm, ratatouille,as an appetaizer and stuffed them with other veggies, etc. plus some recipes from Savvy Vegetarian. Hoping to get another eggplant to grow next year, but if I win this bag it would double my purple pleasure….
Someone just told me they had a problem leaving a comment, so I decided to try it. I love all these bags, btw. I’m not in the drawing of course, but my fave is the purple balenciaga, closely followed by the turquoise Fendi.
I like the purple one… purple is my favorite color and this would go nice with a lot of my clothes. looks roomy enough for all my stuff, too!
I love the purple city bag.
I’ve always wanted a purple bag, and this one would be perfect. Nice and roomy, still very chic :-)
Baleciaga inspired bag is stylish.
My favorite is the Balenciaga inspired purple bag!!!! I’ve been a big supporter of non leather bags for years. All of these bags are beautiful and would look lovely hanging in my closet!!!
Blue spy bag….brilliant colour.
Have been looking for a purple bag for the past year, and this Balenciaga is it. Not too sleek, nor too cluttered, just the right amount of edge and color.
I love the Hermes Black bag. It is just classy looking.
Ok, I thought I responded a few days back, so don’t want to double up but don’t see my post above so here it is again!
Love the purple giant city bag. Gorgeous colour and great detailing!
Thanks!
Love the Purple Giant City!!! Because it’s big and I love purple!
My choice would be the Black Birkin, as black is my favourite colour, it goes with everything. The bag has a great sleek classic look.

I like the purple giant city bag, its a lovely colour which works well in winter especially. I’d love one of these!!
Hello ya’ll!!! I absoluely love the Bright Blue Spybag!!!
I mean you did say VEGAN right? :)
I have actively been changing my food choices for 6 months now. Being a vegan is not an easy task, but I have loved every minute of of journey…I began in Spring of 2010 (here in FL), that is why I absolutely love the Bright Blue Spybag!!! (it completely reminds me of Spring in Florida) This year I took a stand, made some VERY SERIOUS choices for my family and have been living it up since. I was not setting out on a journey to lose weight either, but I have gladly lost 35 pounds to date (a very much needed 35 lbs)…I am finally comfortable, healthy, and I have all of the amazing vegans in this world to thank for always sharing great info and recipes!!! Ya’ll very well may have just saved my life! Here’s to 35 and gorgous ya’ll!
I really like the Balenciaga Inspired Purple Giant City bag, looks nice and roomy. The buckles and snaps add a bit of a “wild” look to it, very nice!
I LOVE the Balenciaga inspired purple bag! I live in the city and need a new everyday commuting bag and this one looks perfect!
Love the spybag!! Awesome color and just the right size!!
I dig the classics, so I like the Hermes Inspired Black Textured Birkin. :-)
Love the Fendi inspired Spybag. I’m always looking for a nice pop of color in my accessories and this definitely fits the bill!
Inspired purple bag is beutiful and looks like it could hold all my grandgirls stuff!!
I love the Hermes inspired Black Textured Birkin. It has smooth lines and understated detail that makes it a great bag for day or evening. Just beautiful.
