Andes Vegan Tote Bag

Q: What is the LaBante Andes Tote?

A: The Andes is a lightweight tote from LaBante London, a
British brand founded in 2011 made from microfibre, with no PU and no PVC. The lining is made from reclaimed plastic bottles.

Q: What makes the Andes different from other vegan totes?

A: Most "vegan leather" totes are secretly plastic underneath. The Andes isn't, using microfibre instead. That's rare in this category, and it means no strong plastic smell.

Q: How long will the Andes last?

A: With normal daily use, the Andes is built to last for
years. The microfibre exterior holds its shape well and doesn't need conditioning. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.

Q: Will the Andes peel, crack, or smell like plastic?

A: No. Since it isn't made from PU or PVC, the two materials
most likely to crack, peel, or smell of plastic, the Andes avoids the
biggest complaint with cheap vegan bags.

Q: Is the Andes water-resistant?

A: It handles light rain and everyday splashes fine. It's not
made for heavy rain. If it does get wet, wipe it dry right away and
let it air dry away from direct heat.

Q: How do I clean and store the Andes?

A: Wipe the microfibre outside with a soft, damp cloth. The
lining spot-cleans the same way. For stubborn stains use a leather
wipe.

Q: Can I wear the Andes crossbody?

A: Yes. A detachable strap lets you switch between a shoulder
tote and a crossbody, depending on what your day needs.

Q: Is the Andes an eco-friendly bag?

A: Yes. It skips the plastic coatings most totes use, and the
lining reuses 15 plastic bottles that would have gone to landfill.
It's one of the more transparent eco-friendly tote bags out there.

Q: What is LaBante's returns and warranty policy?

A: 60-day returns from the date you buy it, and a 1-year
warranty on every product. Returns are free in the US and UK.

Q: Is the Andes a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?

A: Yes. The finish and construction hold up on their own, no
matter what material someone expects. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or you can buy it directly at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
