Know before you buy

Yes, the vegan polyurethane is selected for its balance of structure and durability. It is a sturdy, cruelty-free alternative to leather that holds its shape well for daily errands.
The Manhattan Mini Tote is designed with short handles intended for hand-carrying or wearing in the crook of your arm. It does not include a long shoulder strap.
