I can certainly vouch for Von Holzhausen. I discovered hert over two years ago when she was using leather. The leather was the most lightweight, softest, yummy leather ever. I still have a black shoulder bag in leather. When they discontinued it and went with what they called Technik "leather" I was skeptical. But I bought the shopper and was quite pleased with it. It ended up being too big, so my daughter has it. Then I got the white clutch and I love it. I carry it all of the time. It holds tons! Now I am waiting on the medium shopper. So if you are into vegan bags, you may want to try VH. If it does not work out, you can send it back. I sent one back and had no problem getting a refund.
