Ethical Vegan Laptop Backpack
The Acacia is LaBante London's most practical everyday backpack: a gender-neutral carry designed for students, commuters, and travellers who need reliable performance without compromising on ethics or style.
Built with a durable polyurethane (PU) vegan leather exterior and a padded laptop compartment, the Acacia combines functionality, comfort, and conscious design. Its structured silhouette and versatile storage make it an ideal companion for work, study, and travel.
Features and Construction:
A practical and cruelty-free alternative to traditional leather backpacks, designed for everyday durability and comfort. PETA-Certified.
Q: What is the LaBante Acacia Backpack?
A: The Acacia is an eco-friendly, unisex laptop backpack from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011. The outside is a plant-based vegan leather, and the padded laptop compartment is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles. No PVC, no animal hide, and PETA-Certified.
Q: Does the Acacia fit a 15-inch laptop?
A: Yes. The padded compartment fits a 15-inch laptop. There are also two main zip sections and a interior pocket for cards and keys.
Q: How long will the Acacia last?
A: Built for daily use by students, commuters, and travelers, the Acacia holds its shape for years with normal care. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Acacia peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No PVC means no strong plastic smell and no early flaking, the most common problem with cheap vegan leather. Keep it away from direct heat and it will keep its finish.
Q: Is the Acacia water-resistant?
A: It handles light rain and everyday splashes well. It's not made for heavy rain. If it does get wet, wipe it dry and let it air dry away from direct heat.
Q: How do I clean and store the Acacia?
A: Wipe the outside and the lining with a soft, damp cloth. Don't machine wash it. Store it upright and don't overpack it, so it keeps its shape. For stubborn stains use store leather wipe.
Q: Is the Acacia unisex?
A: Yes. Clean lines, silver hardware, and no gendered detailing. It works the same for anyone who needs a reliable everyday bag.
Q: Is the Acacia an eco-friendly bag?
A: Yes, one of the more sustainable vegan handbags in its price range. The outside is plant-based instead of animal hide, and the laptop compartment and lining are made from recycled bottles.
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 Acacia a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. Most people can't tell it apart from a regular backpack at a glance. It's stocked at Nordstrom.com, or you can buy it directly at labante.com, with free US shipping on orders over $150.
Please store your Backpack in its own protective LaBante London dust bag.
When not in use, please keep your Bag stuffed with clean paper or an old clean t-shirt as this helps to retain the shape.
You may clean stains and dirt from your Backpack using leather wipes that are freely available in any super market, or a damp cloth.
Please store your Backpack in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight or humidity
The vegan material is intended to replace real leather as such please treat it with the same care as real leather.

I really love this bag, which is well made, feels great on my back, and looks fabulous.
Thank you so much Rickardo!
This bag is an excellent laptop while professionalizing my look.
Thank you so much Manpreet for your amazing and kind feedback.
Kind regards

Holds its shape well, very roomy without feeling bulky. Would love a few more compartments inside, but overall, very happy with it.
If you are looking for a work bag, I highly recommand this one. I was a bit surprised at the beginning because the material is less rigid that it seems on the picture, but when the bag is filled it doesn't look like it and it has a good hold. Also, it fits perfect with my 16inch laptop. My experience with Labante's customer service was also really human and they answer quickly, thank you for your great service.
This bag is exactly how it appears!! So cute and so perfect for work—also very comfortable for my 15 min walk to the train every morning! Labante’s customer service is also amazing—I had an issue with my bag soon after I got it (nothing major) and I emailed them, almost immediately they responded assuring this wasn’t typical and they ended up fixing the issue within the same day. Very nice to know this company cares about the environment, style, and their customers. Very happy with this purchase!!
