Lug’s New Vegan Leather Handbag Collection Debuts on QVC
Popular bag and suitcase brand Lug just launched its first line of vegan leather accessories. This is the company’s first foray into the leather look, and the designer insisted that if they were going to use leather, it had to be vegan. The cheerful line replicates Lug’s signature plush, ribbed exterior but replaces the standard nylon for textured vegan leather.
Co-founder and designer Ami Richter explained, “I’ve never been a leather bag kind of gal. I’ve always been able to design everything I want in a bag in nylon and man-made fabrications. I like the look of leather and wanted to explore designing with a new medium, but insisted that if we were going to develop a leather-looking collection, it had to be vegan leather.”
The new collection of three includes a roomy tote weekender, a compact crossbody, and a rectangular wallet clutch. All come in a variety of bright or complementary colors from cool Slate Blue to vibrant Poppy Red.
