I remember awhile back someone posted a site with some cute bags and wallets........but I can't remember the name of it.......for some reason slaughterhouse is in my brain? but when I googled it nothing like that came up.
anyone know what I am talking about?

www.mattandnat.com carries all fake leather purses and wallets. A bit pricey though. I love Urban Outfitters for purses. MOST of their purses are made of fake leather, although you have to read the description to be sure. They also have a website if you haven't heard of them. www.urbanoutfitters.com
Sorry, I'm not sure which website you are thinking of from earlier..

omg. www.verabradley.com
once you start... you won't stop.
I have the maggie in peacock, mod floral pink, and yellow bird. I also have a mod floral pink apron, a peacock belt, and a yellow bird tote my very loved boyfriend just got me.
Loves them.
They're also washable, which is a big plus.

Wow. I feel poorer and poorer with every link I click.
I've never spent more than $15 on a bag before.
Do you know anything about what the site looked like, The types of bags, When you read the thread, Anything? It would help us to figure out what you're looking for.

omg, you're not alone. I just clicked on that first link, and the first wallet was $75. My virtual jaw dropped. It's super nice and I would pay that for such a nice vegan wallet, but I have never even purchased a wallet for myself, they always come as gifts!

my girlfriend got one of their purses when we were in north carolina last summer. I like the bag, I just don't like the fact that they try and imitate animal skins, or at least from far away an unkowing person might not know

I have this one from the Animal Rescue site:
https://shop.theanimalrescuesite.com/store/item.do?itemId=29095&siteId=310&sourceId=268&sourceClass=Category&index=5
I can't tell you how many times I get stopped on the street, complimented, and asked where I got it!

sadly no. I remember the site being posted a while ago. They look like great bags, just way way way out of my sad little budget.

no, it was custom made from a shop on etsy. i can justify it by saying that it's an investment in a quality handbag.. i can use it for years ;)

Can you post a link to the shop? Sorry if I'm being nosy, but I've just been looking for a bag since even before I became a vegan about a year ago. Yours sounds interesting!

Most, if not all, of these purses from Aldo are synthetic. I wish their shoes were...

Also, try www.Sprig.com (for both purses and a few shoes) and www.piperlime.com. At Piper Lime, if you go to the handbag section and look under "fantastic finds under $100," most of those are synthetic. There is not a wide selection, but at least it's something.

um... yes i can, but the shop specializes in jewelry and bags made of leather and weird skins, like stingray and lizard. i found the purse on etsy, saw it was made of wool and leather, and sent them a msg asking if they could replicate the bag in black, and in all vegan materials. i was sure they were going to say no but they messaged back straight away and were really kind.
this is the original bag, i can send a picture of the vegan one if you'd like when i receive it.
the link is unearthed.etsy.com
if you don't want to purchase something from people who make leather stuff, there are a ton of shops on etsy that have gorgeous (and cheaper) stuff. just not EXACTLY what i wanted though.
