Vilma Boutique kindly sent me a product to review for this post. No other compensation was received, and all opinions are my own.
Leather totes, leather booties — they’re all the rage among minimalist fashionistas. But leather is problematic for consumers seeking to be cruelty-free. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing sustainable fashion options that are vegan for shoppers wanting to create animal-friendly wardrobes.
Today I’m reviewing a gorgeous clutch from Vilma Boutique, a vegan accessories company based in Greece.
Vilma Boutique was founded by Vilma Vaskeviciute, a Lithuanian-born designer with a passion for a cruelty-free life. When Vilma started her boutique, she wanted to extend her vegan lifestyle into the products she designed and created.
All Vilma Boutique designs are hand-cut and machine-sewn at a small studio in Greece. Vilma seeks out suppliers who share her values of sustainability, cruelty-free products, sweatshop-free craftsmanship, and high quality materials.
I don’t usually carry a clutch, but this purse has become one of my favorite “night out” accessories. I love the soft, supple feel of the exterior, and the inside lining gives the clutch a high-quality feel. Adorable polka dots on the inside of the purse add a touch of whimsy — they caused quite a stir on a recent girls’ night. I do have to remind myself that this clutch has a snap closure and no zipper, as I tend to hold it upside down and spill small items out of it.
As a newcomer to vegan fashion, I love discovering a high-quality brand like Vilma Boutique who offers cruelty-free products at an affordable price.
