Q: What is the LaBante Ellen Wallet?
A: The Ellen is a mini designer wallet from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011. It's made from textured, snake-effect plant-based vegan leather, with no PVC and no animal hide. It's PETA-Certified, and handcrafted by women artisans in India and Portugal under SEDEX-audited conditions.
Q: What can the Ellen hold?
A: Multiple cards, a zip coin section, and a note compartment, in a small, slim shape.
Q: How long will the Ellen last?
A: With normal use, the Ellen lasts for years. It's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Ellen peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: No. It's made to avoid the smell and cracking common in cheap vegan leather.
Q: Is the Ellen water-resistant?
A: It handles light rain and small splashes fine. If it gets wet, wipe it dry and let it air dry.
