Now, you’ve got a chance to enter to win one of two FABULOUS vegan handbags by Matt & Nat, courtesy of StefaniBags.com. If you haven’t heard of Matt & Nat already, it’s really one of the premier vegan handbag companies – not only in terms of their designs, which are unique, but in their use of innovative materials like recycled plastic bottles and cardboard. My favorite collection at the moment, is the Japanese Paper collection, using a material that looks like super-thin, crinkly, soft leather, but isn’t!

both bags are from the Japanese Paper Collection, and available at StefaniBags:
One Sade Clutch in Grey (valued at $150), and a small Jorja in Pink (valued at $225)
