Q: What is the LaBante Grant Tote Bag?
A: The Grant is a vegan leather tote from LaBante London, a British brand founded in 2011. It's made from plant-based vegan leather, with a fuchsia lining made from recycled plastic bottles. It's PETA-Certified and made under SEDEX-audited working conditions.
Q: What comes inside the Grant Tote?
A: Two detachable wallets, each with a hidden message inside. One clips to the side of the bag for quick access. The other lifts out on its own for lighter days.
Q: How long will the Grant last?
A: With normal daily use, the Grant is built to last for years. It’s sustainable and quiet luxury and it's backed by a 1-year LaBante warranty.
Q: Will the Grant peel, crack, or smell like plastic?
A: The plant-based leather is designed to avoid the strong smell and early cracking common in cheap vegan leather. Keep it away from direct heat and sun, and it will keep its finish.
Q: Is the Grant 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 Grant?
A: Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. The wallets wipe clean the same way. Store it upright in its dust bag. For stubborn stains use a leather wipe.
Q: Is the Grant a good gift?
A: Yes. The hidden messages and two detachable wallets make it feel personal, not just practical. It ships with a reusable dust bag, ready to give as is.
Q: Is the Grant an eco-friendly bag?
A: Yes. It's made without animal products, and the lining reuses old plastic bottles. Every Grant ships with FSC-certified paper swing tags.
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 Grant a good gift for someone who isn't vegan?
A: Yes. Most people can't tell it apart from real leather 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.
