Vegan Bags

Thoughtful, durable and consciously made – our vegan bags are designed for people who refuse to separate style from responsibility.

Vegan bags, plant-based bags, bags made from plant-based leather – whatever you call them, at Plant Inside it always means the same thing. Designed in Poland, made in Europe, from materials born from corn, wine grapes and organic cotton – not animal hides and not cheap plastic.

Every bag is handcrafted in Poland – depending on the model, from Viridis® (plant-based leather from European corn and wheat), Vegea® (grape leather from wine production waste) or organic cotton canvas. The first prototype of our laptop bag has been carried daily for almost five years.

What makes our vegan bags different:

✓ Three plant-based materials – Viridis® corn leather, Vegea® grape leather and organic cotton canvas – depending on the model and its character

✓ Five models – Baguette Bag, Crossbody Bag, Laptop Bag, Shopper Bag and Weekend Bag – for every occasion and every everyday life

✓ 100% vegan & cruelty-free – free from animal components across the entire supply chain

✓ Material manufacturer certifications – Oeko-Tex Standard 100 · FSC® · Animal Free by LAV · GOTS

✓ Timeless design – no seasons, no trends – products built to last years, not months

✓ Organic cotton lining – all interior compartments lined with GOTS-certified cotton

✓ Handcrafted in Poland – small workshops in Nowy Sącz, Elbląg and Malbork, fair wages, quality that lasts

✓ Plastic-free shipping – in an organic cotton pouch and cardboard box

Three materials, one principle

Viridis® is made from European corn and wheat with up to 69% plant content → article: What Is Viridis®? Vegea® is crafted from grape skins and seeds left over from wine production – circularity instead of waste → article: What Is Vegea®? And our organic cotton canvas brings the toughness travel demands. The principle behind them is always the same: no PVC, no microplastics, no animal components – and durability as the most important measure of sustainability.

Handcrafted in Europe – with names and faces

Behind every bag stands a person: Anna sews in Malbork, Iwona in Elbląg, Seweryn in Nowy Sącz – master craftspeople with decades of experience, working in small batches, not mass production. The materials come from Italy, the bags are made in Poland, and your order arrives in an organic cotton pouch and cardboard box. Bags that haven't travelled halfway around the world before reaching you.

Frequently asked questions about vegan bags

What are vegan bags?

Vegan bags are made entirely without animal-derived components – no leather, no wool, no animal-based glue. The term says nothing about quality though: it spans everything from cheap PU plastic to innovative plant-based materials like Viridis® or Vegea®.

Are vegan bags made of plastic?

Not ours – at least not mainly. Our materials contain up to 69% plant-based raw materials from corn, wheat or grape waste, with zero PVC. The remaining share of conventional polymers is something we name honestly – it's what makes the materials last.

Which vegan bag is right for me?

For work with a laptop: Shopper Bag (up to 15") or Laptop Bag (up to 16"). For hands-free everyday life: Crossbody Bag. For style and compactness: Baguette Bag. For spontaneous trips: Weekend Bag.

Are vegan bags as durable as leather bags?

High-quality ones, yes: the first prototype of our laptop bag has been carried daily for almost five years – no cracking, no peeling. The material is what matters – cheap PU often lasts only 1–2 years.

Where are the bags made?

Entirely in Europe: the materials are produced in Italy, and the bags are sewn in three small workshops in Poland – in Malbork, Elbląg and Nowy Sącz.

Are vegan bags sustainable?

Vegan alone doesn't automatically mean sustainable – which is why we rely on verifiable facts: certified materials (Oeko-Tex, FSC®, Animal Free by LAV, GOTS), small batches, fair wages and plastic-free shipping.
