Leather free haulers ---practical, durable and blessed with style---are a chic alternative to animal skin carry-alls. We recently previewed the Spring 2013 collections of two brands that we've favored for a few seasons, Lilypond and Olivia + Joy...both at very accessible prices. The hip factor of going vegan/eco is catching on---Stella McCartney has always had a cruelty free brand of accessories, and now-the luxury Italian label Bottega Veneta---offers up a stunning satchel made from Japanese Washi paper.
