Don’t Buy Coachtopia Bags—Get These Vegan Leather Handbags Instead

Don’t fall into the Coachtopia trap when shopping for a new handbag. Coach’s new brand, Coachtopia, is trying to get Gen Z’s money by claiming to offer “sustainable” products—but its bags are made from “Coachtopia leather,” which is basically ground-up scraps of skin from animals who were violently killed. 😡 No matter what labels companies use, leather is never humane or sustainable—shun Coachtopia and choose bags made from polyurethane, recycled plastic, and other animal-friendly materials, like these vegan leather bags:
