NOGOODFORME.COM: Eco-Fashion: Vegan Queen

Peeps who care for the provenance of their sartorial goods are getting luckier and luckier as the field of eco-friendly design grows and flourishes. Vegan and other strands of green design used to be mired in either a blandly hippie style or this sort of unisex urban utilitarian thing that made everyone look like they listened to electronica and ate at fusion restaurants. (Not that there is anything wrong with those things, but you know what I mean.) Glamourinas who want to be green but not give up their yen for old-school luxury are in luck when it comes to ethically produced goods now that Vegan Queen are on the scene, however -- the line fulfills that preppy-girly kick and manages to be totally vegan at the same time.

The eco-friendliness credentials of Vegan Queen are pretty high: absolutely no animal products are used, and neither is any toxic, gross PVC. The bags use vegetal leather, which is made from specially harvested rubber trees, and the company's shipping and packing policies reflect a commitment to minimizing the environmental impact upon the earth. Design-wise, Vegan Queen is unabashedly fancy, with detailing, shapes and lines that evoke European and British luxury. (The bags would not look out of place next to lines like Burberry or even Louis Vuitton.) I had the pleasure of taking a good, detailed look at a few of the items, and the details -- from the zipper pulls to the crest logo -- are meticulously wrought and rich with monied association. (I also heard that the stylists from "Gossip Girl" pulled some of the bags for the upcoming season -- knowing how costume designers and wardrobe departments work, who knows if they'll make it in, but keep your eyes peeled!) The materials of the bags, clutches and wallets are high-quality and extremely durable -- the wallet-clutch is especially great to handle and is kind of unbelievably awesome. It's pricey stuff, but those who truly invest in their accessories and use their handbags for years will appreciate a truly eco-friendly, animal-loving option that is of the highest quality and truly eco-luxurious.

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)

Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
