LaBante London

LaBante London is a UK accessories brand founded by Vanita Badlani. It designs vegan bags, wallets, jewellery, sunglasses and trainers for women and men. The range includes backpacks, totes, crossbody bags and laptop bags, all made without animal materials. The V&A Museum in London has added one of its handbags to its permanent holdings. The brand describes its approach as Fashion With Respect. It uses biodegradable and recycled materials, and its products carry a one-year warranty. LaBante says it gives at least 10 percent of its profits each year to charities, including animal welfare groups, a hospice and cancer support organisations. Good On You rates LaBante Good overall. It scores Great on animals because PETA lists it as vegan. Its people score is Good: the whole final production stage is SMETA-certified and audited, but there is no evidence of living wages. Its planet score is It's a Start. The brand avoids plastic packaging and uses some renewable energy, but it does not publish a breakdown of its materials and shows no evidence of action on hazardous chemicals.
